Overall, I thought these bars were pretty good. They're definitely a sweet treat, but they're also very rich and filling.

I had a little trouble getting the meringue topping to spread evenly over the bars. It ended up being a little lumpy in some spots.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to use a little less sugar in the meringue topping. I found it to be a bit too sweet for my taste.
