The bars were a little dry. I think I would add a bit more butter or oil next time.

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I've made these bars several times now and they are always a crowd-pleaser. They are easy to make and always turn out perfectly. I love the chewy texture and the slightly tart flavor of the apricots.

These raisin apricot bars were a huge hit with my family! The combination of sweet and tangy is perfect, and the bars are so moist and delicious. I will definitely be making these again.
