I'm not a huge fan of mincemeat, but I really enjoyed these bars. The chocolate and shortbread crust balance out the mincemeat flavor.

These bars are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to add a little more spice. I like my mincemeat on the spicy side.
