The BEST Lemon Bars EVER are a great way to welcome Spring! If the weather's not cooperating where you are, these bars will surely give your taste buds a tease and get your mind in Spring mode!
Y'all know I like to tinker with recipes, but there are just some recipes I don't mess with - because they are perfect (in my humble opinion). I can promise you, if you come to my house to eat - the One-Pot Goulash, Chili - Like Wendy's, Old Fashioned Potato Salad and a few other recipes on this blog will always be the same. Always. As in, they never vary. Ever. The Best Ever Lemon Bars?! They fall into that "never ever change 'em" category.
These lemon bars have the perfect balance of buttery crust with an incredibly delicious lemon filling. They're not too tart, and they're not too sweet - just like baby bear's porridge, it's just right!!
Although the additional powdered sugar on top is "optional" in the recipe, we all really know it's not. Look at them - don't you want some?! Good thing it's easy to whip up a batch ... or three! You just might need that many with how addicting these things are!

Bake the crust for 20 minutes.
Beat the filling ingredients with an electric mixer on HIGH speed for about 3 minutes or until the mixture is light and fluffy. Pour the mixture over the hot crust.
