I followed the recipe exactly and my bars turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the ganache.

These bars were easy to make and they turned out great! The only thing I would change is to use a different type of berry. I used strawberries and they were a bit too tart for my taste.

I'm not a big fan of cheesecake, but I really enjoyed these bars. The ganache was rich and decadent, and the cheesecake was perfectly creamy and tangy.

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe because I'm not a big fan of ganache. But I was pleasantly surprised! The ganache was light and fluffy, and it paired perfectly with the cheesecake.
