I followed the recipe exactly and the squares turned out really dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These pistachio squares were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.

I was a little skeptical about this recipe because I'm not a big fan of pistachios, but I was pleasantly surprised. The squares were really tasty and the pistachio flavor wasn't overpowering.

These squares are delicious! The pistachio flavor is really strong and the crust is buttery and flaky.
