"PUT THE LIME IN THE COCONUT" BARS

I tweaked a recipe I had for lemon bars to make one including two of my favorite flavors. I used Key Limes so the hardest part of this recipe is zesting and juicing all the limes. You could use regular limes, if desired. These were a big hit with everyone at my house. Enjoy!

I'm always looking for healthier dessert options, and these bars fit the bill. They're made with whole wheat flour and coconut oil, so they're a bit better for you than your average dessert. And they're still just as delicious!

I love anything with coconut, so I knew I had to try these bars. They did not disappoint! The coconut flavor was rich and creamy, and the lime added a nice pop of citrus. I especially enjoyed the graham cracker crust, which added a bit of crunch. Ove

These lime in the coconut bars were an absolute delight! The combination of sweet and tangy flavors was perfectly balanced, and the texture was just right - chewy on the outside and gooey on the inside. I'll definitely be making these again!
