I'm not sure why this recipe is called banana rum bars. There's no rum in them!

I'm not sure what happened, but my bars fell apart when I took them out of the oven. I'm not sure if I overcooked them, or if I didn't let them cool long enough.

I'm not sure how long these bars are supposed to be baked for. The recipe says 30-35 minutes, but mine were done in about 20 minutes. I'm not sure if I undercooked them, or if the recipe is wrong.

I love that these bars can be made with or without the cinnamon rum glaze. I usually make them without the glaze, but I've tried them with the glaze a few times. The glaze is definitely a nice touch, but it's not necessary.

I'm not sure why this recipe is called banana rum bars. I couldn't taste any rum in the bars at all. Other than that, the bars were pretty good.

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred a less sweet glaze. Other than that, the bars were moist and flavorful.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my banana rum bars turned out dry and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly, but I think I might have overcooked the crust. I'll definitely give this recipe another try, but I'll be more careful with the baking time
