Creamy Lime Coconut Bars


This recipe came from land o lakes butter. i had to try them once just to see if they were as good as they sound, and believe me, they didn't last in my house past two days. i ate a big hunk every time i got hungry. yes, i know, fully sugared, but everyone deserves a treat!!
