Walnut Bars image

Walnuts grow everywhere in California! I grew up on a "walnut acre" and love them. When I use walnuts, I always think back to my family and harvest time. I hope you enjoy these bars as much as we do. -Chante Jones, Alturas, California

These were so good! I used a gluten-free flour blend and they turned out great. My husband and I both loved them.
