White chocolate chips, fresh lemon juice, and toasted pecans combine for a blast of flavor in these yummy treats! This recipe adapted from the Hershey's Recipe Collection cookbook is one all lemon-lovers will want to add to their treasury of lemon recipes.
Make an icing drizzle from white chips and shortening for the top of the bars. I had to use a little more shortening than the recipe indicated to get my chips thin enough to drizzle.
These White Chocolate Lemon Streusel Bars are the yummiest!
