How to Make Lime Margarita Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a 9x13 inch baking dish with aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- Lightly grease the foil-lined baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine the crushed pretzels, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until evenly moistened.
- Press the pretzel mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create an even crust.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden and firm. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, lime zest, and salt, mixing until well combined.
- Stir in the margarita mix until fully incorporated. The mixture will be slightly thick.
- Pour the margarita filling evenly over the cooled pretzel crust.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and no longer jiggles in the center.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely in the baking dish on a wire rack. This allows the bars to set properly.
- Once completely cool, lift the bars from the pan using the foil overhang. Cut into bars before freezing for easy serving.
- To serve frozen bars, remove and thaw at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes before serving.
