Okay Erica, I just made these tonight and they are SO GOOD! Tell your mom a big ‘thank you’ from the Fishers
We’re also having the fish tacos for dinner. I can’t wait! Lindsey
I made these for a get together last night and they were scarfed down fast!! Very easy and yummy! Thanks or sharing!!
Just made these, they were a huge hit! So easy and yummy! I love that they are not super rich, so we could eat alot.
Oh my god!!! These are awesome, they taste great, are easy and quick and my whole family love them. It is just like eating a cheese cake. YUMMO!!!
Just made these this evening! I did it with a square pan so that I could use less crumbs for a packed down crust, and more crumbs scattered on top! LOVED them!
This are amazing! Made some for Thanksgiving and they were devoured. My Aunt even called asking me to make some for gifts!! Storage question: do these need to be refrigerated or can they sit out at room temperature? Wasn’t sure given the cream cheese. THANKS!
You should probably refrigerate them but we have left them out without any problems.
These look amazing! Could you tell me roughly how many this batch yields? (newbie at baking, even with simple recipes I need help! lol)
We usually cut a pan into 12 slices, but you can definitely cut smaller slices and make it go further.
Thanks!
These are absolutley to die for, yummy, yummy!!!

Thanks for sharing!!!!
Sunshine, is it one egg or two? It says one egg twice…
There are 2 eggs, but you use one for the crust, and one for the filling.
Amazing! I made these today and we loved them! I am a big fan of lemon and these are much better than any lemon bar. So easy and so tasty. I will make these again for sure!
If I had no access to “cake mix” would I just mix together flour, sugar, b. powder and b. soda with salt possibly also lemon juice for the “cake mix”. Maybe dumb ? but I live outside the USA and often have to subsitute things for what is readily availible in uSA.
I found this site that seemed to have a good recipe for substituting a yellow cake mix: http://chickensintheroad.com/cooking/homemade-yellow-cake-mix/
Thank you! I am excited to try this recipe out!
