Lime Bars

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Limes aren’t something I always gravitate towards when baking, but they’re such a fresh and tart option. Although these bars are mainly enjoyed for dessert, they are definitely something you can take out any time of day. Made with a delicious graham cracker crust and a fresh lime filling, you will love these bars! They are best enjoyed cool and stored in the fridge. They will crumble a bit, so you may want to enjoy them with a fork, but that’s up to you!
