I'm not sure what went wrong, but my bars didn't turn out as good as I hoped. They were still tasty, but they weren't as flaky as I would have liked.

I'm not a huge fan of baklava, but I really enjoyed these bars. They were not too sweet and the phyllo dough was perfectly crispy.

I've tried other baklava bar recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The filling is perfectly balanced and the crust is so flaky.
