Lemon Bars
By Allrecipes.com
It's another hot summer! You're running around in t-shirts and shorts, heading to the beach, swimming in the pool, and vacationing in your family's own unique way. But whatever way you turn, you're going to see little boys and girls out selling refreshing lemonade for the super cheap expense of a quarter a cup. Now hopefully you're like me, and try to buy from as many as possible. I think these kids are absolutely adorable. They don't realize that the measly $14 they make doesn't even cover the cost of the lemonade they are selling. But the point is to get these kids earning money for themselves. I did it, my friends did it, and I'm sure many of you did, too.
These lemon bars go perfect with all the lemony sugar your drinking in lemonade. By Allrecipes.com, you can experience the pleasure of a warm tart this summer without leaving the house. Trust me, it is worth more than a quarter.
Have fun!!!!
