Bright, tart, and ridiculously easy.

We took a classic box of Betty Crocker Lemon Bars and gave it an artisanal bakery upgrade!
Layered with sweet fresh fig slices and paper-thin lemon wheels that jam up in the oven, these bars balance rich honeyed fruit with zesty citrus in every bite. Your new go-to summer dessert.

Ingredients:

1 box Betty Crocker Delights Lemon Bar Mix (plus eggs, and water called for on the box)
