Lemon Lime Glazed Blondies

When I saw my sister post this recipe, my mouth immediately watered and I got that little tinge behind my ear you get when you taste something sour. I just HAD to try it!

But of course, I also had to put my own spin on them, so I added a little lime and voilà! (…or whatever the Caribbean island lingo would be since I feel like adding the lime is kind of islandy!) This is the perfect spring dessert!

(Do NOT try to cut corners with the plastic lemons or limes…use the actual real ones! You’re zesting with them anyway, so use the juice from them as well.)
