For a richer flavor, toast the walnuts lightly before grinding. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results. Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.

May 8, 2025These bars were a hit! The maple flavor is prominent but not overpowering. The frosting is the perfect complement.

Apr 22, 2025I added a pinch of salt to the batter to enhance the flavors, and it worked wonderfully! Will definitely make again.

Mar 10, 2025Easy to follow recipe, and the bars turned out beautifully. They were a little too sweet for my taste, so next time I'll reduce the amount of confectioners' sugar in the frosting.
