I followed the recipe exactly, but my bars didn't turn out as good as the pictures. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These bars are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still really good.

These bars are so good! The crust is flaky and buttery, the marzipan is rich and nutty, and the strawberry jam is sweet and tart.
