These blueberry walnut bars were a complete disaster! I followed the recipe exactly, but they turned out burnt and crumbly. I'm never making them again.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my blueberry walnut bars turned out really dry. I'm going to try again using a different recipe.

These blueberry walnut bars are really good, but they're a lot of work to make. I think I'll only make them on special occasions.

The crust on these blueberry walnut bars is a bit dry. I think I'll try adding a little bit of butter next time.

These blueberry walnut bars are a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time I make them.

I've made these blueberry walnut bars gluten-free by using gluten-free flour. They turned out just as good as the regular version.

These blueberry walnut bars are the perfect way to use up leftover blueberries. I always have a few extra blueberries after making blueberry muffins or pancakes, and these bars are a great way to use them up.
