These glazed lemon bars have a fluffy topping and glaze that gives an extra boost of lemon flavor.
Some of my favorite desserts are bar recipes. This recipe is extra special.
It takes a bit of time to make but the delightful taste of the fresh lemons is so much better than making them with a box mix that it is worth the time and effort.

Glazed Lemon Bars
These bars are light, full of flavor and perfect for anytime, even a special occasion dinner. The lemon sugar glaze is a nice extra touch there is just something so right about the combination of the sweetness of the sugar and the tartness of the lemon.
This recipe makes about 16 small bars. They were gone in a flash though, so I think I’ll double it the next time!
Oh…and don’t even think about using store bought lemon juice. You need to use fresh lemon juice to get the just the right bright flavor of freshly juiced lemons to do justice to this recipe.
