I followed the recipe exactly, but my bars turned out too dry. I think I overbaked them.

These bars were a bit too sweet for me, but they were still good. I would probably use less sugar next time.

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

These bars were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I would probably cut back on the sugar next time.
