No-Bake Sweetened Condensed Milk Citrus Bars image

An old recipe from my scrapbook, quick and easy. Just remember to make it the night before, to firm up, as no baking is required. Lovely for tea, and the kids will love them. Rich, yes, so slice into small neat blocks.

I would not recommend this recipe. The bars were too sweet and the crust was too crumbly.

These bars are a waste of time. They're not worth the effort.

These bars are really easy to make, but they're not very impressive. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The crust on these bars is a bit too crumbly for my liking. I think I'll try using a different recipe next time.

These bars are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sweetened condensed milk next time.

I'm not a big fan of citrus desserts, but these bars were surprisingly good. The sweetness of the condensed milk balanced out the tartness of the citrus.

These citrus bars are a great way to use up leftover sweetened condensed milk. I always have a can or two in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses it up.

I'm not a huge fan of no-bake desserts, but these bars changed my mind. The crust is so rich and flavorful, and the filling is perfectly creamy.

The citrus flavor really shines through in these bars. I used a combination of lemon and lime juice, and the result was amazing.

These citrus bars are a delightful treat! The combination of sweet and tangy flavors is perfectly balanced, and the no-bake crust is a great time-saver.
