Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup margarine
  • 1 egg
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 2 cups sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup saltine crumbs

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

  2. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, margarine, and 1 egg. Use a mixer until the mixture becomes delightfully crumbly.

  3. Stir in the saltine crumbs, adding a unique twist to the texture and flavor profile.

  4. Reserve 2 cups of the crumb mixture for later use. Press the remaining crumbs firmly into the bottom of a greased 13×9 baking pan, creating a solid foundation for your bars.

  5. Bake the crust for 20 minutes, allowing it to set and achieve a golden-brown perfection.

  6. While the crust is baking, prepare the luscious lemon layer. Using a mixer or a wire whisk, beat 3 egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, and lemon juice until the mixture reaches a creamy consistency. Spread this lemony goodness over the prepared crust, creating a tantalizing layer.

  7. Top the lemon layer with the reserved crumb mixture, adding a delightful crunch to every bite.

  8. Bake the bars for an additional 25 minutes or until the set is achieved, infusing the entire kitchen with the tempting aroma of baked perfection.

  9. Allow the bars to cool, letting the flavors meld together to create a harmonious taste experience.

  10. Once cooled, cut the bars into your desired size, whether you prefer bite-sized delights or generous portions.

  11. Store these delectable Lemon Crumb Bars covered in the refrigerator, ensuring they stay fresh and ready to satisfy your sweet cravings.
