Lemon Bars

I love lemon bars but have been searching for a recipe with more filling.  I decided to make some today for refreshments at a Relief Society meeting.  I found a recipe for lemon/lime bars for St. Patrick's Day on Facebook and decided to try them but when I really read the recipe over I decided there was way too much sugar and fat.  Besides that, the recipe was meant for a 9x9 pan and I never waste my time making that small of a batch.  So, I began altering - first I used the crust recipe from the old Primary Delight recipe.  Then I used whole wheat instead of white flour and brown sugar instead of powdered and it just got worse from there on out,  I quadrupled the filling and I used less sugar.  When I went to pour it on top of the crust it really filled the pan and it was challenging getting it in the oven without spilling, but it was worth it - Lots of filling! I liked the results so I hope it works when someone else tries it or I do it again.  Next time I might add another cup of flour and 1/2 c butter to the crust.
