Key lime bars

By

I found this recipe on a box of Land O' Lakes butter and have been making it for quite some time. They are a favorite among my friends and I think if I ever stopped making them I'd run out of friends. I have made them for our church cake auction to raise money for the teen mission trip and they are now up to $150.00! We'll see what I get next year! I've never used Key Limes, just regular ones. I can never find them, but can't wait till I do so I can see if there is a difference. Guess I'll just have to move to Key West, Fl.
