These bars were a little too crumbly for my taste. I think I might try using a different type of flour next time.

I'm not a big fan of apricots, but I really liked these bars. The chocolate and nuts really balanced out the sweetness of the apricots.

I made these bars in a 9x13 inch pan and they turned out great! I think they would also be good in a smaller pan, but you might need to adjust the baking time.

These bars were a little dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little bit of butter or oil to the batter next time.

I added a little bit of orange zest to the batter and it really brightened up the flavor. I think it's a great addition.
