Cinnamon Nut Bars image

Classic bar meets good-for-you ingredients in this updated recipe. If you have the patience, after the bars are cool, store them in a tin for a day to allow the flavors to meld...I think they taste even better the next day.- Heidi Lindsey, Prairie du Sac, Wisconsin

I would not recommend this recipe. The bars were dry and crumbly, and the flavor was bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These bars were good, but not great. They were a bit dry and the flavor was just okay. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I was disappointed with these bars. The filling was too runny and the crust was too hard. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.

I was a bit hesitant to make these bars because I'm not a huge fan of cinnamon. But I'm so glad I tried them! The cinnamon flavor was subtle and the bars were not too sweet. They were the perfect treat to enjoy with a cup of coffee.
