Skeptical. That's what I always am going into a recipe that sounds too good to be true. For example, this two-ingredient lemon bars recipe. Two ingredients? I'm here to happily report that these lemon bars are amazing! The lemon bars are moist and full of tangy lemony flavor. These are sure to be a hit at my Easter get-together this weekend.
The ingredient list is beyond easy. Did I mention you only need two ingredients? These moist low-sodium lemon bars are made with a box of angel food cake and a can of lemon pie filling. The two ingredients are mixed together, spread into a 13x9-inch baking pan (I used a glass baking pan) and baked until set and just beginning to lightly brown on top. Let them cool, then if you want to fancy them up, dust with a little powdered sugar. Cut them into squares and you're ready for a sweet treat!
Some angel food cake mixes come with one package and some have two inside. Use both if your angel food cake mix has the egg white mixture separated.
Serve these easy lemon bars for dessert or just grab one for a quick snack. These bars would be a wonderful choice for spring and summer get-togethers, cookouts and potlucks.

Recipe sites should be encouraging people to create GOOD interesting food. They shouldn't be encouraging them to use store bought cake mix in their recipe's. I'm gunna go ahead and assume this is an American site. They're usually the ones with the terrible lazy recipes designed for toddlers and people who don't have the skills to measure proper ingredients. This looks about as good as the 3 ingredient recipe for Nutella flap jacks that taste absolutely disgusting.

First of all you really need to work on your grammar, and your spelling is atrocious. Perhaps you don’t even know what that word means. I’ll give you time to look it up……
Anyway……if you aren’t interested in the recipe, then move along. Some people are SOMETIMES interested in making recipes with very few ingredients for a multitude of reasons……that have absolutely nothing to do with being American. Also, where are you from????? Please don’t say the UK or Ireland, because some of the laziest (and tasteless) recipes I’ve ever seen are from there, and it will just make me laugh a little too hard. For the record, I’ve been all over the world, and Americans are just as good at making from scratch, delicious recipes as anywhere else.
Hater's gonna hate. Elisa Schmitz was much kinder than I wanted to be. Thankfully, tact won.
