These bars were delicious, but they were a bit too time-consuming to make. I'll probably only make them for special occasions.

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I'll probably try making them again with less sugar next time.

These bars were easy to make and turned out great! I used dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet, and they added a nice rich flavor.
