    This actually is one of my favorite all-time Amish recipes. The recipe is for homemade honey bars.  It's a nice, soft, sweet bar with a glaze thinly spread on top.   The glaze's main ingredient is mayonnaise.  Mayonnaise on a brownie might sound horrible, but it works.  The glaze is a sweet complement to a sweet bar.

    I've made this several times and if I weren't stopping at an Amish bakery later today to stock up on some sweets, I'd probably be making these again soon!:)

    Give these a try, you'll love them!

    Oh, and the walnuts...you CAN leave them out...I almost always do, although I will say that in this particular recipe they work pretty well.  You get a nice chewy "nutty honey" texture if you add the nuts.  Totally your call!

      If I don't have walnuts, would it be okay to add sweetened flaked coconut instead of the nuts? Just wondering...as I made the recipe today and I do not have any more walnuts! These are delicious ( so moist and chewy). I love the sweet powdered sugar glaze on top. I will make them over and over again. The recipe calls for ingredients that I have on hand. Thank you for sharing the recipe!
