I'll have to try this recipe again. Maybe I just didn't do it right the first time.

These bars were a waste of time and ingredients. They were dry and crumbly, and the flavors didn't go well together.

I was so excited to try these bars, but I was disappointed. The filling was too tart for my taste and the oat topping was too dry.
