Fresh Squeezed Lime Bars

You can literally taste Spring in these Fresh Squeezed Lime Bars, I’m totally serious.  Wether it’s snowing, raining or sunny here in Indiana in the midst of my messy kitchen these bars make me smile!

My kitchen often suffers from an identity crisis a lot of times of the year but February and March hit my poor kitchen hard with Mother Nature and her bipolar attitude and calving. Which also means My Bath Towels Lead a Double Life!

But calving makes me smile and so do sweets like these lime bars, so all is good!

Limes make me happy – wether they are in these Fresh Squeezed Lime Bars or part of a margarita, which if you added tequila to these you could totally have your dessert and drink it too!

I have actually made these with tequila and you end up with an awesome Margarita Bar dessert!  I simply followed the directions below but added 2 tablespoons of tequila into your wet ingredients and it adds just a touch of tequila flavor!
