Walnut Bars

NEED:
1 cup white sugar
1 pound ground walnuts
1 tablespoon orange zest
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
3 egg whites
2 cups confectioners' sugar

Combine the white sugar, ground walnuts, orange zest, orange juice and 2 egg whites. This mixture will become very sticky and paste-like.

Form the paste into a long rectangle on a smooth surface sprinkled with sugar so that it won't stick. The rectangle should be about 16 x 4 inches.
Make the frosting by mixing the remaining egg white with the confectioners' sugar. You don't need to beat the egg white first! You may need to add a little water, or a little more powdered sugar to form a paste that you can easily spread, but that isn't runny.
Spread the frosting over your rectangle. Use a knife covered with sugar to cut the rectangle into small 1 x 2 inch bars and place them on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Oven at 200 degrees. Bake for about 35 minutes or until frosting is hard but still white.

ENJOY!
