These bars were a bit dry for my taste, but I think that's because I overbaked them. I would recommend checking them a few minutes before the recommended baking time.

These bars were a little too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just personal preference. The frosting is definitely the star of the show, so I would recommend using a lighter hand with the sugar in the bars themselves.
