GRANDMA ILA NELSON'S LEMON DREAM BARS



Grandma Ila Nelson's Lemon Dream Bars image

This recipe came from Whitefish, Montana and was given to me years ago by a dear friend. It had been passed down from her family for generations. I love the fragrance and flavor of lemons. This is by far the easiest and best tasting lemon bar I have come across. I have made it for bake sales, gifts, and simply to serve, and I always have requests for the recipe.
