For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg to the dry ingredients. To toast the walnuts, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant. Sifting the confectioners' sugar will ensure a smooth and lump-free frosting. These bars can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
