These bars are the perfect make-ahead dessert. I can make them ahead of time and then just pop them in the oven when I'm ready to serve them.

These citrus bars were a hit with my family! The combination of grapefruit, lime, and orange was perfectly balanced, and the crust was buttery and flaky. I'll definitely be making these again.
