Description
So I discovered these amazing key lime pie bars last summer and honestly haven’t stopped making them since! They’re basically everything you love about traditional key lime pie but in convenient, easy-to-grab bar form. The crunchy graham cracker crust with that creamy, tangy lime filling just hits different when you can pick it up with your fingers!
I first tried key lime pie on a trip to Florida years ago and became obsessed with that perfect sweet-tart flavor. These bars capture all that deliciousness without needing to book a flight to the Keys.
