Overall, I thought these bars were just okay. They're not bad, but they're not my favorite.

These bars are a bit too rich for me. I think I'll try making them with a different type of filling next time.

I had some trouble getting the meringue topping to brown. I think I might have overcooked it.

I'm not usually a fan of butterscotch, but these bars changed my mind. The butterscotch filling is so rich and creamy, and the meringue topping is the perfect finishing touch.

I love the way the meringue topping browns and gets crispy in the oven. It's the perfect contrast to the soft and chewy filling.

These butterscotch meringue bars were a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of the sweet and crunchy meringue topping with the gooey butterscotch filling was divine. I'll definitely be making these again.
