For Mother’s Day, I made this new-to-me recipe of Lemon Crumb Bars.
They came from the same cookbook where I got the recipe for Ooey-Gooey Caramel Peanut Butter Bar and Chocolate Peanut Butter Candy Bars. My kids do not care for lemon dessert, but I knew my sister and other adults in the family might like it. Since it was Mother’s Day, I figured I may as well make something we like! However, I did make them Scotcheroos, so they were happy.
My brother-in-law and sister who love lemon both told me the dessert was wonderful, and my sister said she liked them better than lemon bars.
These Lemon Crumb Bars are super easy to make as they use a cake mix, so enjoy whipping up this easy but yummy dessert!

- 1 regular size lemon or yellow cake mix (I used lemon.)

Those lemon bars look wonderful. Pinned! I hope you find my brown sugar tip helpful. 🙂 Thanks for the link up!
Those lemon bars look amazing! I love the idea of the crumb topping with the tangy lemon filling.
Lemon is my go-to flavor! I love it as equally as chocolate. Sometimes I will even order a lemon dessert over chocolate.
The lemon bars sound like the perfect spring dessert! I love that they are easy to make!
