Two-Ingredient Lemon Bars

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
    Lightly grease or line an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Mix:
    In a large bowl, stir together the lemon cake mix and lemon pie filling until fully combined.
    (The batter will be thick and sticky — that’s normal!)
  3. Spread:
    Pour mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
  4. Bake:
    Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the center is set.
    (They’ll still look soft but will firm up as they cool.)
  5. Cool & Cut:
    Allow to cool completely, then cut into squares.
    Optional: dust with powdered sugar for a pretty finish! 🍋✨

💡 Ashley’s Tips:

  • Chill before cutting for cleaner squares.
  • Try adding 1 tsp lemon zest for extra brightness.
  • Want a little twist? Use strawberry or blueberry pie filling instead of lemon — it works beautifully! 💕
