This recipe starts off like a traditional lemon bar.
The base is a shortbread like start. Of course, it is a little different in that you use brown sugar instead of white. This give the crust a bit of color as well as the molasses like flavor.
The topping does have a lovely lemon flavor. It is nice and strong and tart.
Again, like a traditional lemon bar, but different with the brown sugar.
The coconut adds a little crunch as do the walnuts.
The raisins add little pops of sweetness which contrasts nicely with the tart lemon.
These were absolutely delicious. You should definitely try them!
