Raisin-Walnut Bars image

So Very Good !! The filling is chewy, moist and delicious. Kind of reminds me of Pecan Pie, not the taste, but the texture.

I've made these bars several times and I've always had problems with the crust being too dry. I've tried adding more butter, but that didn't help. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

These bars are so easy to make and they always come out perfectly. I love that I can make them ahead of time and they still taste great the next day.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of raisins, but I'm so glad I did! The raisins add a nice sweetness and texture to the bars. I will definitely be making these again.

These bars were okay, but I've had better. The crust was a little bland and the filling was a bit too runny. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I made these bars for my family and they were a big disappointment. The crust was too dry and the filling was too sweet. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.
