I'm not a big fan of mincemeat, but I'm sure these bars would be great with a different filling.

I was disappointed with these bars. They were dry and crumbly, and the mincemeat filling was bland. I won't be making them again.

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the bars turned out perfectly. They're gooey and chocolatey, with just the right amount of mincemeat. I will definitely be making these again.
