Lemonade Bars

I totally forgot to take a picture before I snagged a taste!  A co-worked said she had found a recipe for Lemonade brownies and I was intrigued.  Here is the recipe link - click here

Notes

I used Country time Lemonade mix, but I imagine any brand will work fine!

These were quite tart.  If you are a major fan of lemon bars like my boss, you'll love these!
