Raw lemon bars GoodGirlGoneGreen

A few months ago, I posted a raw lemon pie recipe trying to replicate the Hail Merry lemon tarts. They turned out good, but not as lemony as I wanted, and couldn't figure out why, since I used 5 lemons in the recipe!

I recently decided to play around with the original recipe, and came up with this raw lemon bar recipe. It took me several attempts when it came to the crust, but I think I got it the third time around.

Enjoy the lemony goodness. I know I did!

What do you think?

    The hubs will love these. I often don’t make lemon bars and such because I don’t like lemon flavored things (love lemon though — weird, right?), but I know these would be a hit with him! Looks easy too. Love easy.

    Sounds like a delicious snack! I’m generally a big fan of things with shredded coconut, and the lemon would definitely add a kick. I’ll have to give this a try!

    I love lemon and I cannot wait to try this! I’m dairy free for my allergic breastfed baby, so I’m always on the hunt for delicious DF recipes. This is a must try!

    Just delish! I used macadamias instead of cashews. This tastes better than any traditional lemon slice treat. Great recipe, thank you so much for sharing!!! 🙂
