bars

package Betty Crocker® Sunkist® lemon bar mix

1/3

cup water

eggs

1/2

package (8-ounce size) cream cheese, softened

1/4

cup raspberry preserves

Powdered sugar

Heat oven to 350ºF whether using metal or glass pan. Stir Filling Mix, water and eggs, using fork (a few lumps will remain); set aside.
Press Ready-Mixed Crust (dry) in bottom of 8- or 9-inch square pan. Bake 12 minutes.
Drop cream cheese by spoonfuls onto hot crust and return pan to oven about 2 minutes to further soften cream cheese. Carefully spread cream cheese over crust. Stir filling mixture; pour over cream cheese.
Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until top begins to brown and center is set. Cool 10 minutes. Spread preserves over top. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. For 16 bars, cut into 4 rows by 4 rows. For ease in cutting, use sharp or wet knife. Store covered in refrigerator.

Did You Know...

Jams, jellies and preserves are easier to spread if you stir them vigorously first.

Special Touch

For party-pretty bars, sprinkle powdered sugar over a paper doily to give the top a lacy look and let the raspberry layer show through.

Success

Sprinkle powdered sugar over lemon bars just before serving.
