List of Ingredients
Lime Margarita Bars
2 cups finely crushed pretzels-(about 8 ounces)
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter* -- melted
2 cans (14 oz each} sweetened condensed milk
3 eggs -- lightly beaten
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
4 teaspoons lime zest
*plus extra for greasing pan
Recipe
Preheat the oven to 350�F. Line a 9" x 13" baking dish with aluminum foil, allowing the foil to hang over the short sides. Butter the foil and set aside. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the pretzels, sugar, and 1/2 cup butter.
Firmly press over the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake until the crust is firm, about 10 minutes; remove from the oven and cool slightly, leaving the oven on.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Pour into the cooled crust. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the center is firm. Cool completely on a wire rack.
Pull up the ends of the foil to remove from pan. Cut into bars. NOTE: These freeze well, but be sure to place them in a tightly covered container. When ready to serve, just remove as many as needed and thaw at room temperature for 30 minutes.
