For an extra layer of flavor, try toasting the walnuts lightly before chopping and adding them to the batter. If you prefer a less sweet bar, you can reduce the amount of brown sugar by 1/4 cup. Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate chips or add other nuts and dried fruits to customize your bars. Store the cooled bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
