*tip*  I ALWAYS use fresh lemon juice! and I just read in Cooking Light magazine "those cute little plastic lemons DO contain lemon juice, but after its reconstituted and mixed with preservatives the taste is notably off." -Jason Horn

I took this delish treat to my bible study last week, its good with chips and healthier with veggies to dip!!!!
