Key Lime Pie Bars

These simple Key Lime Pie Bars have a simple, three ingredient graham cracker crust with a homemade key lime pie filling on top. 

You know how most people love Thanksgiving food because of the Turkey, stuffing mashed potatoes etc?  I love Thanksgiving because of the PIE. It’s all I care about.We’d have 30 different kind of pies at our Thanksgiving feast.

I’d get to try a sliver of how ever many kinds I wanted. Talk about complete BLISS!  Key lime pie has always been a favorite. I just really love the more tart pies, like this Lemon Sour Cream Pie, or my Grandma’s Lemon Chiffon Pie.

I love the idea of serving pie in “bar” form for summer parties. These Key Lime Pie Bars are super easy and oh so very tasty! They appear “fancy” but they’re the perfect dessert for even the most amateur bakers. They’re that easy. And did I mention how delicious they are? They are SO GOOD!
