Easy Eatin Lemon Bars

These were brought into my work recently to celebrate a co-worker's birthday. Absolutely incredible! The baker was hunted down and made to hand out the recipe. ;) it came from her pampered chef cookbook, and the pan she used was one of their 'bar pans'. I'm sure a 13x.. Or 15x.. Could be substituted, but the baking time should probably be adjusted.

Steps

Preheat oven to 350.

For base& topping: combine cake mix and butter , and blend thoroughly.

Add pecans and mix well.

Reserve 1 cup of the crumb mixture for topping.

Press remaining crumb mixture onto bottom of pan.

Roll lightly with glass or pin to smooth out.

For filling: combine pudding mix and sweetened condensed milk , mixing until smooth.

Add lemon zest and juice to pudding mixture.

Mix well.

Pour filling over base and spread gently across.

Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture.

Bake 25-28 minutes or until light golden brown.

Cool 10 minutes.

For glaze: juice lemon to yield 3-5 teaspoons of juice.

Combine powdered sugar and juice.

Drizzle over warm bars.

Cool an additional 20 minutes.

Cut into bars and serve.
