With red onion and habanero sauce, white fish fillets and shrimp are baked after being marinated in achiote, orange juice, lemon, and spices. Any white fish fillets will do. These are typical Southeast Mexican tastes.

These are amazing! The bars are so chewy and sweet. We didn’t have any nuts, so just like someone else who made this recipe, we used chocolate chips instead. It makes them so chunky and sweet!
Very simple to make and wonderful to eat – not too sweet and a great break from all the chocolate treats!!
I love these bars and have made them many times – sometimes with pecans but usually with walnuts. Today, I will make them again but am planning on adding a little shredded coconut and using pecans.
I like this recipe it is very easy and the bars chewy but they needed some zest. I did figure out what I think that the recipe needed and that was a good amount of allspice it gave them more of a specialty cookie flavor without it they are bland and with it they are nice!
Easy to make and very yummy! This is going in my holiday treat recipe book!
Absolutely Delicious!!! Great recipe. Very easy.
Very tasty! I used flaked almonds instead of walnuts as that was all I had in my cupboard but still tasted lovely.
Are you supposed to be able to get the bars out of the pan before cutting them? That’s what I tried… I had trouble with that and my single baked cookie broke into about 5 pieces. Luckily they were still warm and I could stick them back together. And confectioners sugar, I learned, covers up a bunch of imperfections. Gave it 4 stars because despite all the trouble, they still tasted great!
not sure what happened to these but they were not good, couldn’t even get them out of the pan as a bar was a waste of time for me
Super easy and everyone loves them!
These were pretty good, and I would probably make them again, but I felt like they were missing something.
What an excellent and easy addition to the cookie tins I am giving out to all our friends!
These bars are excellent! I was worried about the butter at the bottom of the pan, but I followed the directions and they came out perfectly. The only thing I added was a handful of chocolate chips, very yummy.
Excellent! Only I substituted chocolate chips for the walnuts because the kids don’t like nuts! Everyone RAVED about them!
