Tequila Lime Bars Casa Noble Close Up via Fields of Cake

A few weeks ago, I was talking to my new friend Laura, and she told me about this tequila called Casa Noble. I like margaritas. As long as they’re on the rocks, but I have never been a straight up tequila kinda gal. Until now. Laura sent me some Casa Noble to try and I am in LOVE! Seriously, I never thought I would say that about tequila, but these people know what they are doing. It is a true experience! Recipes started to race through my mind. I was actually almost afraid my recipes would not do such nectar justice….I forge ahead anyway. These Tequila Lime Bars really are complimented with the hint of outstanding tequila. I am sad to see my beautiful little bottles of Tequila go. I have shared them (begrudgingly) with friends and family so they could experience what I was raving about. They raved too.

Another fun part of this recipe?  I only used TWO, yes TWO dishes! The pan I baked them in, and my Blendtec! (you know…you can still win one!  Go enter!). These were SO easy to make!
