Wow! I loved the combination of lime, white chocolate and macadamia nuts. I used parchment paper to line my pan and they didn't stick at all. The cornstarch makes these very tender. I used regular limes because it is what I had on hand and I didn't even roll them in powdered sugar... they were still marvelous.
