I just love all these recipes! They all sound so good.
I just want to say that this post inpired me to make my own Easter candy. I made vanilla flavored lollipops with sprinkles, and chocolate bunnies, and I will be adding jelly beans to chocolate to make some yummy bark. I had so much fun!
Re: Quick Lemon Bars
Should I make the cake batter following the package directions, or do you mean for me to simply combine the dry cake mix with the lemon pie filling? No eggs, no oil…?
I surely enjoy your newsletter.

Just mix the dry cake batter and pie filling together and bake. Now that I right this I wonder what this would taste like done with apple or blueberry pie filling. I bet that would be good too. Just thinking.
I’ve tried blueberry pie filling and it is really good!
Jill, both major brands of cake mix have the powdered egg white already in the angel food cake mix. They both only require adding water. I tried the lemon bar recipe using the Pillsbury mix and only mixed the dry cake mix and canned lemon pie filling as the recipe calls for but it puffed up and ended up like a lemon angle food cake instead of the lemon bars. What am I doing wrong??
How long do I “just bake” this?
That jelly bean bark sounds so good. Think I will make it this Easter.
Had hubby get the ingredients for the lemon bars. I mixed the two items together and ended up with a 9 x 13 pan of lemon angel food cake instead of lemon bars. ? I looked at the cake mix box and saw where it said it’s a “just add water” cake mix. Oops! Hahaha! It’ll still be good, I am sure. ??
Moderator, please disregard my comments/questions (2 total) about the lemon bars. I went to Tawra’s video and saw she used the same type cake mix I used and saw the outcome was the same as mine. I was looking at the photo with the recipe on this post as what it should look like, so I was confused.
