Our RV Recipes treat of the week makes for the perfect camping treat or dessert! Try these tangy lemon bars. Everyone in the campground will love them!

 

Just look at these lemon bars: Add them to your RV Recipes list!

If you love the “tang” of a citrus dessert, you will definitely enjoy these lemon bars. They will be one of your favorite RV Recipes.  Guaranteed!

The baking time can vary with high altitude cooking but I find that it is easy to adjust at any altitude as needed.  This recipe is simple to make ahead and bring along on an RV trip. If your RV has a convection or regular toaster oven, you can easily whip these up in your RV galley.

The ingredients are simple but the end product provides enough to have these goodies on hand for a few days and still have plenty to share at a potluck or other gathering.
