Creamy Lemon Crumb Squares

This is a recipe from the Pioneer Woman website.(if you don't know who she is then you should find out!) They are a perfect spring time treat. Jeff and I couldn't stop stealing a bite from the pan! I used lemon juice you buy instead of the real deal which was still yummy but it missed that zing you get from using a real lemon. Make them and you won't regret it!
