I let these bars cool completely before cutting them. They were much easier to cut that way.

I used dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. They gave the bars a more intense chocolate flavor.

I didn't have any cherries on hand, so I used raspberries instead. They worked great!

These bars were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add some extra butter next time.

I had some trouble getting the bars to set. I think I overbaked them. Next time, I'll bake them for a few minutes less.

These bars were a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll cut back on the sugar next time. Otherwise, they were delicious.
