Mom'S Walnut Bars

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (100 degrees C).

2. 2

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

3. 3

   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.

4. 4

   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.

5. 5

   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.

6. 6

   Bake in preheated oven for about 35 minutes or until frosting is hard but still white. Enjoy with a big glass of milk!
