Tips:

Use a food processor to finely chop the walnuts. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the bars.
Be sure to press the mixture firmly into the pan before baking. This will help the bars hold together.
Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting them. This will help prevent them from crumbling.
Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
For a healthier version of the bars, use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour and reduce the amount of sugar.
