I'm going to try making these squares with different types of nuts, like pecans or almonds.

These squares are a great way to use up leftover cream cheese.

I love the combination of poppy seeds and cream cheese in these squares. They're the perfect balance of sweet and tart.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my squares came out flat and dense. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted sunflower seeds for the walnuts in the topping. They turned out great!

These squares were a bit dry for my taste. I think I'll add some extra butter to the batter next time.

I'm not a big fan of poppy seeds, but these squares were surprisingly good. The sweetness of the filling balanced out the bitterness of the seeds.
