These prune bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the filling if you're not a fan of overly sweet desserts.

These prune bars were delicious! The prune filling was perfectly sweet and tart, and the crust was nice and crumbly. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

I made these prune bars for a potluck and they were a huge success! Everyone loved them, and I even got a few requests for the recipe. They're really easy to make, and they're a great way to use up leftover prunes.

These prune bars were a hit with my family! They're so moist and flavorful, and the prune filling is perfectly sweet and tart. I'll definitely be making these again.
