step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) or 325 degrees F (160 degrees C) if using a glass dish.

step 2

Melt the Unsalted Butter (1/2 cup) in the microwave or on the stove top. Finely chop the Walnut (1 cup) preferably in a mini food processor.

step 3

Place the melted butter in a 9×13 pan (preferably glass, but aluminum works as well) and spread it out so that it evenly coats the bottom.

Sprinkle the Graham Cracker Crumbs (1 1/2 cups) on to the melted butter so that it is completely covered. Make sure you distribute the crumbs evenly. Once covered, pat the crumbs down a bit to make sure they stick together well.

Allow to cool completely (leaving it overnight is best) before cutting. Cut into 1.5 x 2 inch rectangles to get about 36 bars. One row of bars will be a little bigger, but you can really cut them to whatever size you like.
