Key Lime Coconut Bars Recipe
Made these for a Jimmy Buffet concert a few years ago (hmmmm, might have to recreate that menu and post it) and came home with NONE! Didn't expect to. Definitely a Parrothead dessert!

Outstanding - and I love lime and coconut! Thanks so much...


FANTASTIC LOVE THESE THANKS


Pure heaven - that key lime juice can't be beat...so refreshing and tart. My youngest is going to a Jimmy Buffet concert this July - think I'll give her this recipe to take along...it is the perfect dessert for that (or any summer event, as far as I'm concerned)!


Nummers! Put de lime in de coconut! Two of my favorite things! I hope I can find Key Lime Juice though...If not I will just buy Key Limes until I get the 5 tablespoons! Great post, I can hardly wait to try it!
