Walnut Bars
Taken from a Taste of Home Cookbook and submitted by Chante Jones from Antioch, CA. This is one of their "blue ribbon" award winners. I have not tried them, but just from reading the recipe, I think I can almost taste why these received the blue ribbon! UPDATE: I made these are they are wonderful!!!
