Spring is quickly turning into summer.
We’ve already had the Slip N’ Slide out for an after school play date!
Tank tops are on and sweaters have been put away for the season. I love changing out my closet and re-discovering some of my favorite clothes! What’s even better, is when they still fit!
School lets out on June 1 – I can’t believe my kid is “Graduating” from Kindergarten!
As I approach the end of my free days, I’ve decided to make some “adult” treats. I mean… how many kids LIKE nuts in their treats. Not mine! I have to make cookies with and without nuts!
So, I found this Yummy Lemon and Orange bars with a Hazelnut crust topped with more hazelnuts and I knew that I had to make it – FOR ME!!
Here’s What You Need for the Crust
1/3 C butter
1/4 C sugar
1 C Flour
1/3 C finely chopped toasted hazelnuts
Beat the Butter until smooth, add sugar until combined. Add in the flour and HALF the hazelnuts. The crust will be crumbly, but press it into a 8×8 pan and bake at 350 for 10 minutes.

Here’s what You Need for the Filling:
2 eggs
3/4 C sugar
2 Tbls flour
1 tsp orange peel
1 tsp lemon peel
2 Tbls orange juice
1 Tbls lemon juice
1/2 tsp baking powder
remaining hazelnuts
Powdered Sugar as garnish
While the crust is baking, mix the ingredients together. Beat for two minutes and pour over hot crust. Sprinkle with the remaining hazelnuts and bake for 20 minutes.
Slide a knife around the edge of the pan and allow to cool.
Add powered sugar if desired.
The recipe said I should cut into 20 bars…. well, I cut it into 9 pieces!
Also, they did not last long enough my house, but if you want to store them, cover them and keep them in the fridge.
Enjoy!

I want that crust! Super delicious! And, the end of kindergarten. Makes me sad mine is finishing of first in a few weeks.
Man…. you are on it tonight! The crust was super easy to make. I'm sure LOTS of bars could be made with it!
These sound super yummy – I love citrus everything.
These bars are quite unique!
I've never thought to combine hazelnuts with lemon and orange – I like this idea!
I forgot to add the Cookbook where I got it from. This was found in my BH&G Cookie Classics Book. I find so many wonderful ideas in there! Thanks 🙂
I am inviting you to come and be part of my blog hop:

Thanks for the invite! Just linked up!
These sound so flavorful!
They were! I reluctantly shared them…
my hubby is allergic to nuts, so we don't get to make many of them in my house, which is too bad, these look good!
Nut allergies are so hard to work around. Save it for a pot luck dish or take it to a friends house to enjoy with ice cold citrus tea!
Oh, yum Karyn! These look so good. I cook with essential oils and I have one that is called citrus fresh… I bet that will really kick this recipe up a notch. I love it and plan to make it this summer for my family. 🙂 Would love for you to come and link it up with us at Kids in the Kitchen:http://younglivingoillady.com/home/kids-in-the-kitchen-link-up-week-15/
Hope to see you there 🙂
Thanks for the invite. I just linked up. I found so many useful ideas for healthy living on your blog and even forwarded some posts on to my husband who is all about Holistic Care. Thanks for sharing!
These look great! My kids actually like nuts, so I know they would only last for a minute or two in my house.
Hi Karyn,
