The chews didn't hold together very well. I might try adding a little more honey next time.

These chews are a bit too tart for my taste. I might try using less cranberries next time.

I had some trouble finding unsweetened coconut. I ended up using sweetened coconut and the chews turned out a bit too sweet.

The chews didn't turn out as chewy as I expected. I might try cooking them for a little longer next time.

These chews are a bit too sweet for my taste. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
