Double Layer Lemon-Lime Bars

Rating
My entire family loves this recipe and it has become a staple at get togethers. Another great way to serve it, if you are having trouble with the crust being crumbly is how i recently made them: double the entire recipe, adding 2 more tablespoons of butter to the crust mixture. Then put 1/2 tablespoon of the crumb mixture into 75 mini muffin papers. Add 1/2 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture and spread. Then pipe the top layer on! Perfect bite size treats!

How does lemon jello and lime peel make a green top layer? Mine came out yellow with green specks! And I was never able to get the top layer to set... What am I doing wrong?

I found the cookie crust was vey crumbly, I will probably use a graham cracker crust next time. It had a good flavor though, something differert, but I found the cream cheese mixture VERY THICK, made is hard to spread onto the crust, I couldn't spread it all over the crust, I will try the recipe again, I want it to be perfect to share it again with my family

These bars were great. I found that if you use too much lemon juice your bars will be kind of soggy.

I'm not sure what the other reviewers did wrong, but this recipe came out perfectly for me. I used fresh juice, which may have helped. I have taken this to several parties, and they always disappear in the first 30 minutes. My husband requests them even in winter. I had no problems with mushiness or things not staying together.

The crust was very good, but there was just a little too much bitter aftertaste.

This was a terrible recipe and I would never make it again. The crust came out good but everything else is just a mess. The topping is mush and when you try to cut it, it all falls apart. I even let it sit over night to see if it would set better but no luck. The flavour is good I'll give it that.

I entered these lime bars in my family dessert contest thinking they would be a hit! I followed the directions very carefully and put it in the fridge 7 hours and it STILL did not set properly. I tried to cut them into squares and instead it turned into Lemon soup... I was very dissapointed with this particular recipe.
