Betty Crocker's Lemon Bars

From time to time, I get coupons for Betty Crocker cookie mixes and if they're on sale, I buy a mix and use it in a recipe (like this one). Honestly, these lemon bars were way better than the ones I made a few weeks ago. The crust tasted better and the bars were fluffier. I forgot however, to take a picture so here's a shot of what they look like on Betty's website.

Ken just brought over the lemon bars and they are so good, there the best tasting I've ever had. I don't want to share them with anyone else, I want to keep them all for myself :)
