Overall, I thought these bars were just okay. They're not bad, but they're not amazing either.

The cranberry sauce was too tart for my taste. I think I'll try using a different recipe next time.

These bars are too dense for my liking. I prefer a lighter, fluffier cheesecake.

I had some trouble getting the bars to set properly. I think I might have overbaked them.

These bars are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I substituted gluten-free flour and dairy-free cream cheese, and the bars still turned out great!
