Great recipe! It was finished right away at dinner! For all the people with bad reviews, they probably didn't follow the recipe exactly. I used an 8x8 pan. Delicious!!!

These bars did not turn out the way the pictures looks. The crust was so hard around the corners I am still soaking the pan to try and get it out. The top is not flaky at all, and the crust is very crumbly. They taste fine if you can get them out of the pan, but the look is not very appealing if you are making them for a special occasion.
