I'm not a big fan of chocolate and raspberry together, but these bars were surprisingly good. The flavors were well-balanced and the bars were not too sweet.

The cookie crust was a bit too crumbly for my liking. I think I'll try using a different recipe next time.

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

I'm not a huge fan of raspberry, but I thought I'd give these bars a try. I'm so glad I did! The raspberry filling is tart and tangy, but it's not overpowering. The chocolate frosting is the perfect complement to the raspberry filling.
