I'm allergic to raisins, so I substituted cranberries. The squares turned out great!

These squares are way too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my squares turned out dry and crumbly. I'm going to try again using a different recipe.

These squares are so addictive! I can't stop eating them. I've already made them twice this week.

These squares are perfect for a quick and easy dessert. I love that I can make them ahead of time and just pop them in the oven when I'm ready to serve.

I made these squares for my kids' lunchboxes and they loved them! They're a great way to get them to eat their fruit.

These squares are a great way to use up leftover raisins. I also like to add a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans for a little extra crunch.

I'm not a big fan of raisins, but I really enjoyed these squares. The raisins were plump and juicy and added a nice sweetness to the squares.

I made these raisin squares for a potluck and they were a huge success! Everyone loved them and asked for the recipe. I'll definitely be making these again.

These raisin squares are a classic treat that are easy to make and always a hit! I love the chewy texture and the sweet and tangy flavor of the raisins. I've made these squares many times and they always turn out perfect.
