"Mousse" layer didn't firm up. I had to put them in the freezer in order to put the chocolate layer on. Chocolate/butter mixture stiffened and was unable to be spread without thinning it a tad but still had difficulty spreading. Taste was great! Would only make these again if I can figure out how to correct these issues.

I'm a seasoned baker of 40 years and I also had problems with this recipe. The melted white chocolate and whipping cream mixture didn't "thicken slightly" after 1 1/2 hours in 'frig. I mixed it into the frosting and chopped cherries as directed regardless and added 1/4 teaspoon almond extract. The chocolate chips and butter seized up on me and I had to add several tablespoons of leftover whipping cream to make it spreadable and salvage the bars.

Very disappointed in this recipe. The chocolate frosting was impossible to spread and ended up mixing with the cherry filling. Also, the cherry filling was very liquid-y and not mousse-like. It ended up being a big mess.
