These bars are the perfect combination of sweet and tart. The cherry filling is bursting with flavor, and the crust is the perfect balance of buttery and crumbly.

These bars were a disappointment. The crust was dry and the cherry filling was too tart. I wouldn't recommend them.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bars turned out really dense and heavy. They weren't bad, but they weren't as light and fluffy as I hoped.

These bars were really easy to make, but they didn't turn out quite as I expected. The crust was a bit dry and the cherry filling was a bit too runny.

I'm not a huge fan of maraschino cherries, but these bars were surprisingly good! The cherry filling was less sweet than I expected, and the crust was the perfect complement.
