Do you ever check out the recipes on packages? I was looking at our can of Key Lime Pie filling and found this great recipe for Key Lime Bars.
I just knew I had to make them right then and there since I had everything I needed in the house!
I try and keep a well stocked pantry filled with my favorite canned goods. We travel a ton so it is great coming home and having everything I need to make dinner or a treat in the pantry. As a Cans Get You Cooking Canbassador I am excited to share these great tips and recipes made with canned products.
Did you know
~According to a University of California, Davis study, many canned fruits and vegetables have equal, or more nutrients than their fresh or frozen counterparts.
~According to recent studies, most Americans throw away spoiled fruits and vegetables two times a week on average, wasting approximately 15 percent to 20 percent of fresh fruits and vegetables each year.
~Metal cans are endlessly recyclable and in fact, are the most recycled containers in America today, keeping metal out of landfills and saving significant energy. Nearly 80%-90% of all steel that has ever been produced is still in use today
These Key Lime Bars are ah-mazing! So easy to make and so tasty!

I want to make little tarts instead of bars and was wondering it they can be frozen for a later use? I have six cans that I want to use before their expiration date. Thank you.
I developed that recipe when I worked for Birds Eye/ Comstock Wilderness. Glad you enjoyed it!!

funny timing. i was thinking about key lime recipes today 🙂 my mom always loved key lime and wanted KL pie for her birthday not cake!! these she’d have loved, and i think we’ll make them in her memory on her bday this month.
These sound delicious! I didn’t realize canned fruits and veggies were similar in nutrition to fresh or frozen…. good to know! We definitely throw out old fruits and veggies too often.
I have a soft spot for anything lime, this recipe looks so good. I’ll have to try and find some Duncan Hines Comstock Original Key Lime Creme Pie Filling next time I’m at the store

Key Lime is such a favorite of mine. I will definitely have to try these. I did smile because nothing goes to waste here and that makes me feel so good. If I can’t dehydrate it meaning fresh fruits and veggies I can freeze it or create something else wonderful 🙂 Love the can recycle information tho its so important for people to know that 🙂
I haven’t had key lime pie in ages. I need to make it again!
I bet my dad would love these. He loves anything that is Key Lime!
Those sound amazing. Key lime is one of my favorites and I don’t have it nearly often enough.
