    Recipe Introduction


    These are so so good. OMG, I love these bars.

    List of Ingredients





    -
    2 cups flour
    4 tablespoons sugar
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    1 stick plus 2 1/2 tablespoons margarine
    4 eggs -- beaten
    1 cup almonds -- chopped
    2 cups light brown sugar -- firmly packed
    3 cups sweetened flaked coconut
    1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
    2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
    2 teaspoons lime zest

    Recipe





    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

    Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Cut in margarine until mixture resembles coarse meal. Press crust into ungreased 10 by 15-inch baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

    Mix eggs, nuts, brown sugar, and coconut until well blended; spread over baked crust.

    Bake an additional 30 minutes or until set.

    While still warm, loosen the edges with a metal spatula. Mix together the powdered sugar, lime juice, and zest with a fork. Working quickly, spread the lime paste all over the top with a spatula while still warm. Let cool to room temperature and cut into bars. Cut 11 cuts crosswise and 3 cuts lengthwise.
