We eat a lot of treats a work. Every Friday morning there is something new. Sue made these Walnut Bars once and wasn’t really planning on it to begin with. She started with another recipe, and realized she didn’t have all of the ingredients halfway through making them. So she finished them anyway and they turned out awesome. Pretty much you can’t go wrong with sweetened condensed milk. Nuff said.

Recipe Notes
[My 2 Cents]
Depending on the thickness you are looking for of the bars, you can change sizes of the pan. I used a 9x9 and I thought it was the perfect thickness. I made small squares and it made approx 20 bars, which was nice since they are a little rich!

I just made these and they were so good! I had some leftover walnuts I needed to get rid of and this did the trick. So tasty and gooey!
