- Beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar and the salt until stiff.
- Stir in the brown sugar, a tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff again after each addition.
- Fold in chopped walnuts.
- Heap in rounds on prepared tray and bake in a very slow oven (150C/350F) for between 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove immediately from tray and allow to cool.
- Sandwich with whipped cream.

Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of white sugar in the butterscotch sauce.
- To make the meringue stiff and glossy, beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks before adding the sugar.
- Spread the meringue evenly over the butterscotch layer, making sure to reach all the corners and edges.
- Bake the bars at a low temperature (325 degrees Fahrenheit) for 20-25 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting and serving. This will help to prevent the meringue from cracking.
