These bars were good, but not great. The crust was a bit too dry and the filling was a bit too sweet.

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think next time I'll use less sugar in the filling.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my bars didn't turn out as good as the picture. The crust was too dry and the filling was too runny.

The crust was a bit too crumbly for my taste, but the filling was delicious. I think next time I'll use a different recipe for the crust.
