These bars were a disappointment. The crust was too dry and the filling was too runny.

I've tried making these bars a few times, but I can never seem to get the crust right. It always comes out too crumbly.

These maple walnut bars were a hit! They were easy to make and turned out perfectly. The crust was flaky and buttery, and the filling was sweet and gooey. I will definitely be making these again.
