Ingredients

1

package Betty Crocker™ Sunkist® lemon bar mix

1/3

cup water

3

eggs

1/2

package (8-ounce size) cream cheese, softened

1/4

cup raspberry preserves

Powdered sugar

Preparation

Heat oven to 350°F whether using metal or glass pan. Stir Filling Mix, water and eggs, using fork (a few lumps will remain); set aside.

Press Ready-Mixed Crust (dry) in bottom of 8- or 9-inch square pan. Bake 12 minutes.

Drop cream cheese by spoonfuls onto hot crust and return pan to oven about 2 minutes to further soften cream cheese. Carefully spread cream cheese over crust. Stir filling mixture; pour over cream cheese.

Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until top begins to brown and center is set. Cool 10 minutes. Spread preserves over top. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. For 16 bars, cut into 4 rows by 4 rows. For ease in cutting, use sharp or wet knife. Store covered in refrigerator.
