Easter kind of snuck up on me this year. Here I am sitting at the computer on a Saturday night at midnight remembering that the Easter bunny forgot to get the kids baskets. #momfail I am the worst at remembering holidays like that. Even Valentine’s Day we were at the store the night before getting Valentine’s. I was the mom that sent them with a plastic grocery bag to collect their Valentines! And now I have forgotten Easter too!? Oh man. And St Patrick’s Day? My kids didn’t even wear green! Life is just getting too busy and overwhelming. I need to ask the mom’s that remember all of this stuff and make Leprechaun traps and turn the milk green how they do it. 😉 At least I can redeem myself by baking a delicious treat every now and again. And these Ooey Gooey Lemon Coconut Butter Bars were a HIT!
Now. You are going to have to stock up on butter at Costco to make these. Ok totally kidding. It is not that much butter. But there is a reason they are called butter bars. They do require a bit of butter. But. It is ok to indulge on a delicious treat every once in a while right?
These bars are seriously worth the extra run or two at the gym! They have a delicious crust followed by an ooey gooey lemon cheesecake buttery center. And then they are topped with a coconut brown sugar butter topping. What is not to love about these bars? They come together pretty quick and you have a delicious ooey gooey bar ready to devour in no time at all. You will love everything about them. Especially the coconut and lemon combination. They are delicious!
