Poppy Seed-Lemon Bars Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Poppy Seed-Lemon Bars Recipe). The bright flavor of lemon combined with poppy seeds really kicks the traditional lemon bar up a notch. They're vibrant, fresh tasting, and pleasantly sweet. I like to use black poppy seeds for a pop of color and just a little more eye appeal.
