These bars were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have added some spices to the batter.

These bars were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would have added a little more liquid to the batter.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted sunflower seeds for the macadamia nuts in the crust. They worked perfectly!

These bars were a little too dense for my liking. I think I would have preferred a lighter, more cake-like texture.
