A recipe from the back of a pack of Sunbeam Pistachio kernals. I haven't tried this yet as a gluten-free slice. A nice slice to have with a cuppa

These bars were a total disaster! They were burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. I'm not sure how I managed to mess them up so badly.

I'm not sure what went wrong with my bars. They turned out dry and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

These bars were a disappointment. The apricots were too tart and the pistachios were too bland. I wouldn't make them again.

Overall, I thought these bars were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

These bars were a bit too crumbly for my taste. I think I would try using a different type of flour next time.

These bars were a great way to use up some leftover apricots. They were also a nice change from the usual chocolate and peanut butter desserts.

The bars were a bit dry. I think I would add a little more butter or oil to the recipe next time.

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe next time.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe based on what I had on hand. I used dried cranberries instead of apricots and walnuts instead of pistachios. The bars still turned out great!

I'm not usually a fan of apricots, but these bars changed my mind. The apricots were perfectly balanced by the pistachios and the bars were perfectly sweet without being too cloying.

The recipe was easy to follow and the bars turned out perfectly. I especially liked the tip about using a toothpick to check if the bars were done baking.
