These tangy bars offer an assertive, satisfying flavor tangy Key lime in a bite-sized dessert package. Key limes, also known as Mexican or West Indian limes, are smaller, tarter, and more aromatic than traditional Persian limes. They are what gives these bars—and anything they are added to—their citrus bite. Because of their more petite size, you’ll need more of them and will spend more time juicing, but the effort is worth it. If you don’t have any luck finding them in your grocery store, you can substitute regular limes or even use the bottled Key lime juice that is widely available. Cut these bars into small pieces—the flavor is so assertive and rich that a little goes a long way.
