\"lemon<\/p>\n

I have been reading and hearing about lemon bars for a long, long time. Just the name would put me off. I couldn’t imagine how such a sour thing could made a nice dessert. Oh, how wrong I was.<\/p>\n

The tang balances the sweetness just right, and this melt-in-your-mouth dessert if going to have you pop one after another. Don’t make if you’re on a diet!<\/p>\n
