Easy Lemon Cheesecake Bars

This easy recipe for Lemon Cheesecake Bars uses cream cheese, cake mix, and lemonade powder to make a classic dessert.

But then, a few days later, I remember why: they are completely addictive and I have zero will power against them. As a matter of fact, a few of these are currently sitting in my kitchen and it's taking everything I've got to say no right now.

Another reason I love this recipe is that you can add basically any flavor in to change it up a little bit! I made these for Easter Sunday...how perfect is the bright flavor of lemon for a spring dessert?

These are great throughout the warmer months for a rich, but bright treat. You can make them with raspberries, blueberries, or even pureed strawberry for a summery feel. Add cranberries to make this more of a winter dessert.
