OMG, these bars are amazing! The combination of the crispy filo pastry and the rich, nutty filling is to die for. I will definitely be making these again and again.

I'm not a fan of baklava, but I really enjoyed these bars. They were not too sweet and the filo pastry was perfectly crispy.

These bars were a bit too dry for my liking. I think I should have used more butter or oil in the filling.

Not bad! I thought the filling was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the filo pastry was perfect.
