I was a little disappointed with these bars. The crust was too dry and the filling was a little too sweet. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but these bars were surprisingly good. The lime flavor really balances out the coconut and makes them very refreshing.

These bars were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.
