Sweet Sally's and Key Lime Bars (Review and Giveaway)

Sally's (of Sweet Sally's) has been busy cooking up a storm and making life a bit sweeter and the memories of past years more dear on a day to day and month by month basis. It's a way of life for her. She has made a name for herself in the New Jersey area, and now her reputation is spreading via the internet. Today let's look at Sally a bit since she's the one behind all this sweet goodness.

yummy looking goodies. 
Makes me want to grab a cup of coffee
or tea and indulge in their goodness.

Sally Saltzbart Minier is a third generation baker and has been active in the kitchen since she was very young.

Sally says, "As a child, I learned the mathematical concept of 'fractions' by working with measuring cups and was taught the basic 'tricks of the trade' by my Grama Gracie and my Mom, Carrie. Grama Gracie was known for her Jewish specialties and Mom is famous for her world class Apple Pie, New York Cheesecake, Classic Spritz Butter Cookies and LBI Blueberry Buckle."

and passing along the legacy!

 When my children were growing up, I used cooking, too, to show them fractions.  They wanted to help mommie and we just got in there and mixed it all up.... flour, fractions, fun, fantastic mess!  But my children learned cooking skills, math skills, homemaking skills, and had a loving time with Mom.  So I understand about Sally growing up and inheriting the skills from Grama Gracie and Mom. 

Sally sent her Florida Key Lime Bars for me to taste and review and we're going to take a look at these today!   Don't they just look absolutely delectable?  Well, truth-be-told, THEY ARE!!  Of course, when they arrive in their little Sweet Sally's box and are tucked inside with red tissue paper, they don't have a little slice of lime on top like you see in the picture.  You get the Florida Key Lime Bars.  You can add your own dusting of powdered sugar and tiny slice of lime just before you serve them.  Or you can just eat them as they come.  

All Natural Ingredients: Flour, sugar, light brown sugar,
unsalted butter, coconut, white chocolate, confectioner’s
sugar, salt, eggs, key lime juice, and magic.

My husband dearly loves Key Lime cake and Key Lime pie, so I was not really surprised when he exclaimed that these were "scrumptious"! Key limes have that beautiful dark green peel, and to make really good Key lime "anything" you have to get the lime zest from them.  The taste test makes it evident that these key lime bars are made from real Key limes and other real, natural products. And I was surprised at the bits of coconut in these bars which gave them a new taste and texture from other lime or lemon bars - definitely an asset.
