Easy Key Lime Bars
These Key Lime Bars are a variation on traditional lemon bars and have the perfect amount of tart and sweet. They are SO good! The tender cookie base holds a puckery lime filling that gets a little extra kick from grated lime zest. You can use fresh limes or  bottled key-lime juice.
 These dessert bars need nothing more than a dusting of confectioners’ sugar, and they make the perfect dessert for barbecues, picnics, and summer parties!
