These bars were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add more butter or syrup next time.

I'm not a fan of nuts, so I omitted them from the filling. The bars were still delicious!

These bars were so easy to make. I didn't have any phyllo dough on hand, so I used puff pastry instead. They turned out great!
