LEMON CHESS SQUARES

Steps:

• 1. Mix Crust ingredients and press into bottom of 9 x 13 inch pan. Mix and pour filling ingredients over crust. Bake at 325 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes or until golden brown.
• 2. My notes: If you cannot find the Lemon Cake Mix with pudding, simply add a box of instant lemon pudding to the dry cake mix. Spray pan with Pam or Baking Spray to make removal easy. Let cook completely before cutting into squares. These are very rich so keep squares more like bar size. They don't seem to need to be refrigerated and lasted up to 3 days on my counter. I took half the pan to work and they were GONE. Good Recipe!!! I will post a picture the next time I make them. From the kitchen of Carolyn the Crafty Gourmet
