These bars are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I've tried several key lime bar recipes and this one is definitely the best. The filling is smooth and creamy and the crust is perfectly buttery.

These bars were easy to make and tasted great! I used a store-bought graham cracker crust to save time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the bars turned out great. They were a little too tart for my taste, but that's just personal preference.
