These bars were a bit dry, but I think that was because I overbaked them. I would definitely make them again, but I would bake them for a shorter amount of time.

I had some trouble getting the crust to set, but I think that was because I didn't chill it for long enough. Other than that, the bars were delicious.

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. They were still very good and I would definitely make them again, but I would use less sugar next time.

I've made these bars several times now and they always turn out perfectly. The crust is flaky and the filling is smooth and creamy. I love that I can make them ahead of time and they still taste fresh.

These pistachio cream bars were a huge hit at my last party! They're so easy to make and everyone loved the combination of the creamy pistachio filling and the buttery shortbread crust.
