These were good, but not great. I think I'll stick to my old recipe.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chews turned out dry and crumbly. I'm going to try again with a different recipe.

These were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. They're still very good and I'll definitely make them again.

I've tried many cherry pecan chew recipes, but this one is by far the best. The filling is perfectly gooey and the crust is flaky and buttery.
