Traditional margaritas are made in glasses with salted rims. These cooling Lime Margarita Bars are made with salted pretzels, so you get that salty taste in every bite. (And you don't sip these, so you don't need straws!)
What You'll Need
- 1 1/2 cup finely crushed pretzels
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) butter, melted
- 2 (14-ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
- 4 teaspoon grated lime peel
What to Do
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9- x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
-
In a medium bowl, combine pretzels, sugar, and butter. Press firmly into bottom of prepared baking dish.
-
Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until crust is firm; remove from oven and cool slightly, leaving oven on.
-
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Pour into cooled crust.
-
Bake 25 to 30 additional minutes, or until center is firm. Cool completely on a wire rack. Cut into bars and serve, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
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 about 30 minutes.
