I've made these bars several times and they're always a hit. I like to add a little bit of lemon zest to the batter for a brighter flavor.

These bars are so easy to make, I can even get my kids to help me. They love sprinkling the cinnamon sugar on top before baking.

I'm not a big fan of raisins, but I loved these bars. The sour cream and walnuts really balanced out the sweetness of the raisins.

These bars are a great way to use up leftover sour cream. I always have a container of sour cream in my fridge, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use it in.

I followed the recipe exactly and the bars turned out perfectly. They were golden brown and had a lovely aroma. The raisins were plump and juicy, and the sour cream gave them a nice tang.

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
