OOOOOMG crazy-good! However: I skipped the powdered suger on top. The bar was sweet enough without it (NO complaints from my husband or 4 year old, LOL)....but not nearly as pretty. So. Could I cut down the sugar in the filling? I'm typically a total disaster when it comes to making egg dishes, so am hesitant to mess with success. But your thoughts?? Could I even go down to just a cup and a half of suger? Too crazy? Also.....I keep staring at a Grapefruit and thinking maybe....maybe.... Deb – I just made these. OOOOOMG crazy-good!

Not sure I could ever drink that much tea, so since most of us are on the mend I was looking for a recipe with lemons. This sounds perfect. I may try the lemon tart for a gathering next week as well.

Haven't read through the 177 comments before mine, but I'm guessing someone told you about the typo where you say, "Cut into triangles and dust with confectioner's sugar." I think you meant rectangles??? Happy Holidays! Love your site and your recipes.

Can anyone else recall how long they baked their's for? Thanks! Hi Deb – So about how much baking time would be appropriate for the thinner layer version?

I love everything you post about, so when I needed a sexier version of margarita bars, I looked here first! I wanted to make lemon bars for my new mother-in-law but she loooooves limoncello, so I was wondering if I could incorporate limoncello in your recipe. Does the alcohol affect consistency? Can I do something like 1/2 lemon juice 1/2 limoncello?... allll limoncello??? Thanks in advance for your help!! I can't wait for your book! Hey Deb!
