An Easy Dessert Recipe For Parties

These Tequila Lime Crush Bars are the perfect ending to tequila week here at Mantitlement. I know you’ve all seen tequila lime chicken done a hundred times, or tequila used in a type of barbecue sauce. But I wanted to turn an actual cocktail into a dessert this time…so I took my Tequila Lime Crush Cocktail and made them into boozy dessert bars.

Just in case you didn’t get enough tequila in the past couple of days…

You can definitely taste the tequila in here, so make sure you use a good one like the Hornitos® Plata I’ve been using this week. And this isn’t an overly sweet dessert either, which I like for this recipe so that the tequila flavor really comes through.

This dessert is also one of those really easy to make recipes that don’t actually look like they were easy to make (again, if I can do it, I’m pretty sure everyone can) but they’ll totally stand up to any Father’s Day dinner you might be hosting this weekend. And they taste pretty amazing too which is what really matters. You could kind of describe them as tasting like a key lime pie with a shot of tequila on the side – and seeing as I love key lime pie and I love tequila this dessert totally works for me.

Serving up some Tequila Lime Crush Bars on Sunday to your Dad will definitely earn you some points…they could even sub-in for a gift, right? I know I’d be happy getting a plate of them!
