These bars were a disappointment. The crust was dry and the filling was too runny.

I had some trouble getting the crust to hold together. I think I might have needed to use more butter.

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I would probably use less sugar next time.

I made these bars for a potluck and they were a hit! Everyone loved them. The only thing I would change is to use a little less sugar in the filling. But other than that, they were perfect.
