These easy, no-bake bars combine salty-and-sweet and are always a hit. Crushed Ritz crackers form the crust and topping, and the filling is a tartly sweet and creamy mixture of whipped topping and pink lemonade. The bars are cool, refreshing, and perfect on a warm day.

Instructions
-1 Line a 9-by-9-inch pan with foil and spray with cooking spray. -1 Place the crackers and powdered sugar in a food processor or blender to pulverize.
