I made these the other day and, while they tasted much better the second day, I'll probably not use this recipe again. The 1/2 cup frosting doesn't even come close to covering even half of these bars. I also thought the crust was way too thick, which leads me to believe that part of the crust mix should be left out to put on top of the filling, instead of frosting them. I love lemon, but these just weren't tangy enough for me. I did find another similar recipe, with less eggs and no "frosting". Leaves much more room for adding lemon juice. Thanks anyway.
