  • 2 cups chopped walnuts
  • 1 cup butter

  5. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until smooth and combined.
  6. Pour the warm butter and brown sugar mixture evenly over the graham crackers and walnuts.

Notes

  • Allowing the bars to cool completely helps the caramel-like topping set properly.
  • Spread the butter mixture evenly so each piece has a balanced coating.
  • Chopped walnuts provide crunch and pair well with the cinnamon flavor.
  • Line the baking sheet with foil for easier cleanup.
  • These bars are ideal for making ahead for gatherings or holiday treats.
