I followed the recipe exactly, but my bars turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These bars were a bit of a disappointment. The coconut flavor was overpowering and the raspberries were too tart.

The crust on these bars is a bit too crumbly for my liking. I'll try using a different recipe for the crust next time.

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

I'm allergic to coconut, so I substituted almond flour for the coconut flour. They turned out great!

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I really enjoyed these bars. The raspberry flavor really balances out the coconut.

These bars are a great way to use up leftover raspberries. I always have a few containers of them in my freezer, so I'm always looking for new ways to use them.
