Low Calorie Chocolate Bar

Low fat shortbread? You bet! This is the base that One Smart Cookie cookbook author Julie Van Rosendaal has created for the infinitely popular Classic Lemon Bars. And yes, there are people who would prefer these over say a brownie.

“I haven’t met anyone yet who doesn’t love lemon bars, and many would choose them over chocolate. These are classic lemon bars with a shortbread base – but this version uses half the fat of a traditional shortbread crust. It will be crumbly and dry, but trust me, it works!” says Van Rosendaal.
