Macadamia Lemon Bars
Recipe: #4232
January 21, 2012
"From "Taste of Home". I've made these several times, and they are wonderful. Currently my favorite lemon bar. They are lemony, not eggy. I never would have thought of the macadamia nuts, but they go very well with the lemon and give it a nice texture. The crust is yummy too, shortbread like. The only thing I do different from the original recipe is: add more lemon zest...I add it to the crust also. The mistakes I've made are: adding more lemon juice because I didn't want to waste it, which made it soupy & it didn't work by doubling it in a 13x9, darn. These bars are delicious, try them! Please use fresh lemon juice. "
