Overall, I thought these bars were just okay. They're not bad, but they're not amazing either.

These bars are really crumbly. I had to be careful not to drop them when I was cutting them.

I had some trouble getting the glaze to set properly. I think I might have used too much butter.

These bars are a little too sweet for my taste, but they're still good. I think I'll try using dark chocolate next time.

The combination of white chocolate, cranberries, and almonds is perfect. The tartness of the cranberries balances out the sweetness of the white chocolate, and the almonds add a nice crunch.

I love how easy these bars are to make. I was able to whip up a batch in no time. They're also a great way to use up any leftover white chocolate or cranberries.
