Walnut Bars

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300ºF. Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper.

Step 2

Measure all the ingredients into a medium bowl. Stir well with a spatula to fully combine.

Step 3

Press the mixture into prepared baking dish, and press down firmly with a spatula or  your hands.  Make sure to work the walnut mixture into the corners.

Step 4

Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes. The top should be lightly browned.

Step 5

Cool in the baking dish on a rack for about 45 minutes. Once the dish is cool to the touch, transfer to the refrigerator for about an hour.

Step 6

Make sure that the bars are cold before cutting. To cut, remove the walnut mixture from the baking dish by lifting out the parchment paper, and place on a cutting board.

Step 7

Cut into 16 equal bars, and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Step 8

Bars can also be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. Wrap each bar individually, and store in an airtight container. Simply remove bar and thaw overnight to enjoy the next day.
