Lemon Gooey Bars

This lemon version is my favorite gooey bar EVER. Why?
Because:
1. They’re so easy to make. Cake mix, butter, egg, cheese cream, lemon juice and vanilla . DONE.

2. They’re infallible. Pretty much you can’t mess these up, I promise.

3. They taste amazing. Like cake…but gooey and bar-like.

4. There are so many different flavor combos it’s mind boggling.
You can add white chocolate, raisins, coconut, is so versatile and delicious !!! I really love this recipe!!!
