The Lemon Bar That People Won't Stop Talking About

There is a specific kind of happy a good lemon bar brings: the soft shortbread, then the bright snap of lemon that makes you pause mid-bite. That is exactly what we were after with Princess Cari's Lemon Bars at Little Miss Moffitt, named for Karen's daughter Cari. If you have been looking for a lemon bar that is actually worth it, or a sunny little gift for someone who deserves one, here is what is worth knowing.

What Makes Little Miss Moffitt's Lemon Bars Different

Little Miss Moffitt is a Philadelphia-area artisan cookie and corporate gifting brand, and Princess Cari's Lemon Bars are one of the treats people ask for by name. You do not need a bakery around the corner to get them, either. We ship cookies and bars nationwide, so whether you are local or across the country, they show up at your door.

What Makes a Great Lemon Bar

A great lemon bar comes down to balance: sweet enough to feel like dessert, tart enough to taste like real lemon. Get that right and you have something people remember. Princess Cari's starts with a shortbread crust, then a layer of homemade lemon curd made with fresh squeezed lemon juice and grated lemon zest, and finishes with a buttery crumb topping. That crumb topping is what gets people. Most lemon bars stop at filling and powdered sugar. These do not.

They come in a 4-pack, 12-pack, or 24-pack, and we recommend refrigerating them when they arrive.

Lemon Bars as a Gift

Lemon bars make an easy, crowd-pleasing gift. Almost everyone loves them, and they feel a little more thoughtful than the usual box of chocolates.
