I had never tried lemon bars before so I thought vegan lemon bars would be a good way to go, I was right. They are very good and I never realized how much I liked lemon. They are zesty and you will hopefully enjoy them even if you ant a lemon lover. My mom/mentor didn't want to make them because she doesn't like lemon but she loved these so you never know.
