I have not heard of Lemon Brownies before but they sure look moist and delicious! I didn’t know you could make them this way using a box mix, usually just follow the cake mix recipe with a small ingredient addition but never taken out an ingredient. Hmmm. They really look yummy – hope the recipients love them. I also remember my mom baking on Saturdays when we were growing – It is one of my favorites!!
