For a more intense lemon flavor, add the zest of one lemon to the filling mixture. Ensure the butter is completely melted for a smoother crust. Allowing the bars to cool completely is crucial for clean cutting. For even cleaner cuts, refrigerate the bars for at least 30 minutes before cutting. Store leftover lemon bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
