For a richer flavor, try using browned butter in the frosting. Toast the walnuts lightly before chopping to enhance their nutty flavor. If you don't have baby food carrots, you can steam or roast fresh carrots and then puree them until smooth. Feel free to substitute other nuts, such as pecans or almonds, for the walnuts. Store the frosted bars in the refrigerator to keep the frosting firm.
