I had a little trouble getting the crust to stay together, but other than that, these squares were perfect. They were so moist and flavorful.

These squares were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still really good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I had some trouble getting the crust to stay together. I think I might have needed to use a little more butter.

I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out great. The only thing I would change is to add a little more cinnamon.

I'm not a huge fan of sweet potatoes, but these squares were surprisingly delicious. The spices really balanced out the sweetness of the potatoes, and the crust was the perfect complement. I'll definitely be making these again.
