I’m a lucky girl!
I came home Christmas night with a bunch of Meyer lemons. Not wasting anytime, I jumped on Twitter and asked if anyone had any killer recipes using lemons.
You gotta love Twitter!
Krista from The Doubled Dipped Life rose to the call and shared a recipe a friend had given to her. She loved it.
It was a lemon bar with a twist!
It had white chocolate chips in the bars.
White chocolate and lemon are a match made in heaven, who knew?
The Hubby wrinkled his nose when I told him I was making lemon bars. He’s a chocolate kind of guy.
He ate a 1/4 of the pan. Guess he liked them!
I think you will too!
I know my friend Barbara did!

I LUUUVE me some lemon bars. Gosh, those look irresistible!
Your feature comes up tomorrow!
They sound great! I found your blog from Blond Duck's post & will certainly be popping back to check out more recipes! Happy new year
Lemon and white chocolate is the most wonderful combination. Here in the UK they make a delicious white chocolate bar with a hint of lemon. Its one of my favorites.
Have a happy new year daaaaahling.
*kisses* HH
I am absolutely crazy about lemon desserts and this sounds wonderful! I came across a recipe for limoncello using meyer lemons. If I ever had enough meyer lemons I would probably try my hand at that. Happy new year!!
I just wandered over from Miranda's, and what a nice place to start! Hubby loves white chocolate…
White choc is my favorite. When I scan the dessert menus at restaurants, a white chocolate alternative causes me to weaken and order away. White choc in lemon bars….even better.
Cheers

I've yet to get my hands on a Meyer lemon! How lucky! These look so scrumptious. I've never seen the combo before – very unique!

I just found your blog via The Blonde Duck, and I'm in love. Never before have I shown an interest in lemon bars – but the inclusion of white chocolate chips makes me ravenous for them. Tres fabulous my love!!
Love the sound of lemon bars with white chocolate… so decadent! I think I could also finish 1/4 of the pan… or maybe the whole thing?

These do look yum! And I bet the white chocolate and lemon is a perfect combo – would never have thought of it.
I would have never thought to add white chocolate to lemon, but it does sound divine. My family will love this! Thanks!
We love lemon bars and learned for ourselves this past year, that white chocolate and lemon is sublime. Thanks for sharing!
