The bars were a bit dry. I think I should have added more butter to the crust.

These bars are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the chopped walnuts with chopped pecans. The bars turned out great!

These bars are a great way to use up leftover Kahlua. They're also a great make-ahead dessert. I often make them a day or two ahead of time and then store them in the refrigerator.
