Nice dessert-very sweet. Reminds me of something my mother makes. Served ours with recipe#358433. Thank you for sharing. Made for ZWT6 Zingo for Unrulies Under the Influence.

This is an interesting dessert. I used half walnuts and half almonds. The graham cracker flavor really shines through so these might be really good with chocolate ice cream and some marshmallow topping ala "fancy smores" (think that is what we will do for dessert tonight!).

We enjoyed these 'bars', for lack of a better word. They were chewy and nutty. Hard to believe there is no flour in the recipe! They went together easy enough, and were done in 25 minutes. I used my glass 9 X 9 pan, as that is as close as I have in size - it worked just fine! Thanks for sharing, MomLuvs6. Made for ZWT.

Very nice dessert - like a walnut brownie! The walnut taste really shines through here. I served with a light drizzle of nutella; next time I may sprinkle some chocolate chips and/or coconut on top before baking. Thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for ZWT6, Zwizzle Chicks
