I love the idea of these bars, but I found the lavender flavor to be a bit overpowering. I would recommend using less lavender next time.

These bars are delicious, but they're very rich. I would recommend cutting them into small pieces.

I had some trouble getting the bars to set properly. I think I may have overcooked them.

These bars are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still very good. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe.
