I found these bars absolutely fantastic!!! They were better than your favorite bakery. I got rave reviews from everyone. The only comment I received was that they could have tasted a little bit more "lemony" but I thought they were perfect and I wouldn't change a thing.

Absolutely delicious. I too increased the lemon zest, using the zest of one lemon. Nothing else to change. Easy and the taste is divine. As suggested by Mirj might give orange a go next time.

Di, I made these for my brothers fiancee, she just had minor surgery. So do you think she will notice the 3 that are missing? I had to taste them to be sure they were delicious! And then I got a tall glass of milk and helped myself to 2 more, heck it's the thought that counts 
Great, simple, delicious recipe, thanks!!
