Mango Lime Bars

Mango Lime BarsIt's mango season! I keep bumping into mango sales so I thought it's time to come up with something new. These Mango Lime Bars are a lot like Lemon Bars, but less gooey, more pillowy, and of course, more mango-y! The base is a butter shortbread that will melt in your mouth, but still hold up the custardy topping. You will love these. If you prefer super tart, go with two limes instead of one; the consistency will still hold up.
