Very rich bars - do not remain on a plate long. My son begs me to make these all the time but I usually save them for a special treat at Christmas.

These bars are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they are still very good. I would recommend using less sugar next time I make them.

I'm not a huge fan of cherry, but I really enjoyed these bars. The almond flavor is strong enough to balance out the cherry flavor, and the texture is perfect.

These bars are so easy to make, and they taste like they came from a bakery. I love that I can make them ahead of time and they still taste great.
