The ingredients for Lightened Lemon Bars are:

1/4 cup Splenda, ground in blender, to confectioner sugar consistency
3 tablespoons light margarine/butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 C egg beaters
3/4 cup Splenda
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt

Here is how you make Lightened Lemon Bars:

Preheat the oven to 350?F. Beat the 1/4 cup of "confectioners' Splenda" and margarine on medium speed until creamy. Gradually add the 1/2 cup of flour, and mix on low speed until the mixture is crumbly. Next, press the mixture into the bottom of an 8-inch square baking pan or press in to muffin tins to make baby "pie shells", and bake until just golden brown (about 10 to 12 minutes). Cool on a wire rack. Lower the oven temperature to 325?F. Whisk the eggs on medium speed until foamy. Add the sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, 3 tablespoons of flour, baking powder and salt, and combine. Pour the mixture over the baked crust and bake until set, about 20 to 25 minutes. (Do not touch the filling with your fingers or it will stick to them.) Cool on a wire rack. Cut into 16 squares and dust with "confectioners' Splenda".
