LEMON BARS

I made lemon bars this afternoon. This is the best recipe I have ever had for lemon bars. Although today I didn't use the white chocolate chips because I was out...

White Chip Lemon Bars

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided

1 cup granulated sugar, divided

1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened

3/4 cup HERSHEY'S Premier White Chips

2 eggs, slightly beaten

1/4 cup lemon juice

2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon peel
Powdered sugar

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.

2. In medium bowl, stir together 1 cup flour and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Cut in butter with pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press mixture onto bottom of 9-inch square baking pan.

3. Bake 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven; sprinkle white chips over crust.

4. In medium bowl, stir together eggs, lemon juice, lemon peel, remaining 1/4 cup flour and remaining 3/4 cup sugar, carefully pour over chips and crust.

5. Bake 15 minutes or until set. Cool slightly in pan or wire rack; sift with powdered sugar. Cool completely in pan on wire rack; cut into bars.

Makes about 36 bars

The only thing that I change is, I don't use the lemon peel because I've never had any luck using it before. I'm sure I must be doing something wrong but none the less I just leave it out... and of course you don't have to use the Hershey's chips that's just what the recipe says.
