  1. My local dessert critics (i.e. my family) gave this 4 stars. That's not to say the bars won't disappear :). One comment was that there was a strong flour taste. I thought that was interesting because when I was making the crust it seemed like there was too much flour and the mixture didn't become crumbly enough. I double checked my measurements but couldn't see where I had not followed the ingredients. The flavor of the filling was delicious, although it isn't as thick as Color Guard Mom's picture. Thanks for sharing. Made for Best of 2013 tag.
     
  2. For National Cheesecake Day, my family enjoyed this very much! I substituted pecans for the walnuts, but otherwise made the recipe as written. I topped individual servings with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and pineapple.
