It gives it a nice freshness you don't get from bottled. Plus the bottled stuff gives it a weird taste. And yeah, sweetened condensed milk isn't the best, but it sure works well with some baked goods. For certain people, it's out of the question, but for most people in small doses on rare occasions, it's okay. I had way too much sugar over the holidays as well and am now on a sugar cleanse. Argh... Good to "see" you again! Hey Cindy — fresh lime juice is just better for this recipe. It gives it a nice freshness you don’t get from bottled. Plus the bottled stuff gives it a weird taste.

I noticed that a sample of "real lemon" or "real lime" powdered junk I had contained dairy ingredients (I don't remember about gluten). Or is the fresh lime juice just since fresh is infinitely better (especially for vitamin C I am guessing...?) These look good by the way! I never use sweetened condensed milk. I used to use only evaporated milk and sweeten with Stevia, but it's tricky and now its not worth the effort for my nondairy goodies. Now I use agave and/or blackstrap molasses and coconut milk for most to all things like that. I found out over break that I can push my sugar too far :) I think now I'll be more vigilant, hehe. Yor treats look awesome though! Hey, if I could, I would. For now I'll eat the virtual image :) Cindalou Melissa,

Thanks for the tip. I will order his book; maybe one for you too, Tevis. He has a whole recipe section on the website that is great. I think I'll try the Bean Burgers. Thanks!

Also, my boyfriend, a Midwest gluten junkie ate about three of these last night and loved them. This is one of the best recipes ever!!

I believe they are responsible also for The Best Recipe, which is a cookbook that my son Gordon gave to me several years ago and which I keep by my "reading chair" as a go-to book anytime I need a dinner idea or just want to read about good food. Another favorite cookbook is How to Cook Everything, by Mark Bittman. Happy New Year! I love the looks of the Key Lime Treats, and I, too, am a fan of those fine folks at America’s Test Kitchen.
