To make the crust:

• 5 Tbsp unsalted butter (softened)
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 2/3 cup all purpose flour

• 1 cup crushed graham cracker crumbs

To make the filling:

• 1 (14oz) can sweetened condensed milk

Creamy Lime Pie Square Bites

Preheat oven to 350. Cover an 8×8 glass square dish with foil.

Whisk together all of your crust ingredients until it becomes a grainy consistency. Take a spoon and press the graham crust into the foil making sure all of the edges and bottom are completely covered.

Place into the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes until browned. Remove from oven and allow to cool for about an hour.

For the filling, add all of your ingredients into a medium bowl and mix well for about 30 minutes, and then for 3 minutes on low. Place into the graham cracker crust, making sure all of the edges are filled.

Bake in the oven for about 5-10 minutes, and then remove. Place onto a cooling rack for about 15 minutes, and then chill in the refrigerator for remaining 45 minutes to set.

To serve,  remove carefully from dish with foil and cut into bite sized squares.

Not all essential oils are edible. Due to lack of purity, 98% of essential oils sold should NOT be ingested. An edible essential oil will be labeled “therapeutic-grade” and have a “Supplement Facts” box on the label showing the nutritional value – do NOT use just any brand of essential oil for cooking/flavoring foods. Be sure to use pure oils from reliable sources, not synthetic scents or flavorings.
