These were so easy to make and they turned out so delicious! I used fresh cherries and they were perfect. The bars were the perfect combination of sweet and tart. I will definitely be making these again!

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved them. The crust was a little dry, but the filling was delicious. I think I'll try making them again with a different crust recipe.
