PASSION FRUIT BARS

Passion fruit can be a difficult fruit to find recipes for. While I love just cutting them into my yogurt for breakfast, it's fun to find other ways to use the familiar flavors. These passion fruit bars are my fun twist on my classic lemon bar recipe. I like to leave the seeds in, but you can certainly strain them out!
