I'm not a big fan of figs, but I really enjoyed these fig newton bars. The filling was sweet and gooey, and the crust was flaky and buttery. I'll definitely be making these again.

I was disappointed with these fig newton bars. The crust was too dry and the filling was too runny. 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 reducing the amount of sugar next time.

Easy to make and delicious! I followed the recipe exactly and the bars turned out perfectly. The only thing I would change is to add a little more cinnamon to the filling.
