These bars are a great way to use up leftover marzipan. They're also a great make-ahead dessert.

I've made these bars several times and they're always a hit. They're so easy to make and they always turn out perfect.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my bars turned out a complete disaster. They were burnt on the bottom and raw in the middle.

These bars were a waste of time and ingredients. They were dry, bland, and flavorless.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my bars didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The marzipan filling was too runny and the crust was too hard.

I thought the marzipan filling was a bit dry, but the crust was delicious.

I was a bit skeptical about making these bars, but I'm so glad I did. They turned out perfect! The marzipan filling was rich and decadent, and the crust was flaky and buttery.
