I'm not sure what went wrong, but these bars turned out terrible. I followed the recipe exactly, but they were still a disaster.

These bars were a complete waste of time. They were dry, crumbly, and flavorless.

I found these bars to be a bit dry. I think I'll add some extra butter to the crust next time.

I made these bars with dried cranberries instead of cherries and they were still delicious.
