These bars were a bit too crumbly for my taste. I would recommend pressing the crust into the pan more firmly next time.

I found these bars to be a bit dry. I would recommend adding a little more butter or oil to the crust.

These bars are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate, but I still enjoyed these bars. The coconut and oats balance out the chocolate flavor perfectly.

These bars are a great way to use up leftover oatmeal. I always have a batch of oatmeal in the fridge, so I can easily make these bars whenever I want.
