The bars didn't turn out as chewy as I expected. I think I overbaked them.

These bars are a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I added a little bit of cinnamon to the batter and it gave the bars a really nice flavor.

I've made these bars gluten-free by using gluten-free oats and flour. They turned out just as delicious.

I've tried many different date bar recipes, but this one is by far the best. The bars are moist and chewy, with just the right amount of sweetness.

I made these bars for a bake sale and they sold out in minutes! They're definitely a winner.
