I wouldn't recommend this recipe. The squares were dry and flavorless.

Overall, I thought these squares were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

The glaze on these squares was a bit too thick for my taste. I think I'll try using a thinner glaze next time.

I found these squares to be a bit dry. I think I'll try adding some extra butter or oil to the batter next time.

These squares were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of figs, but I loved these squares. The rum glaze really mellows out the flavor of the figs.

These squares are the perfect balance of sweet and tart. The figs and rum glaze are a match made in heaven.

These squares are incredibly easy to make, even for a beginner baker like me. I was able to whip them up in no time.

I baked these squares for a party last weekend and they were a total crowd-pleaser. Everyone loved the unique flavor combination of figs and rum.

These fig and rum squares were a huge hit with my family! They're so moist and flavorful, and the rum glaze is the perfect finishing touch.
