For a richer flavor, use browned butter in the crust. If you don't have maple extract, you can substitute with an equal amount of vanilla extract, but the maple flavor will be less pronounced. Toast the walnuts before chopping for a nuttier taste. To easily cut the bars, use a pizza cutter or a long, sharp knife. Running the knife under hot water and drying it between cuts will also help. Store the baked bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
