I had some trouble getting the crust to stay together, but the bars still tasted good. I think I might try using a different recipe for the crust next time.

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the custard next time.

I love rhubarb custard bars, and this recipe is one of the best I've tried. The crust is flaky and buttery, and the custard is rich and creamy. The rhubarb adds a nice tartness that balances out the sweetness of the custard.

I made these bars for a potluck and they were a huge success! Everyone loved them, and I even got a few requests for the recipe. The only change I made was to use frozen rhubarb instead of fresh, and they turned out just as good.
