The Best Lemon Snow Bars Recipe | Holiday Baking Tips

This post is sponsored by Smart & Final. All content is my own.

Whatever your age, holiday baking is a fun and special time. One of my favorites to make are Lemon Snow Bars. An easy and light recipe that looks so pretty and wintry with powdered sugar on top.

Holiday baking reminds me of special family moments with my grandmother baking all kinds of Christmas goodies to eat and to give as gifts.

Bars and cookies make perfect holiday gifts or party/potluck food because they look good and are really easy to stick into a pretty holiday container.

What will I need for holiday baking?

Make sure your pantry and refrigerator are stocked up with all the essentials you’ll need for holiday baking.

I love looking through cookbooks and old family recipes to make with my kids during the holidays.

It’s nice to have those ingredients on hand to bake until your hearts content.
