Perfect for parties where bite-size food is served. Very quick, no-bake, no-failure pastry. I bring it to every pot-luck and always grab a few cards with recipe written down - everyone wants a copy!

How to make it
- Warm up butter on a stove or in microwave. Let it melt, but don't let it bubble.

- Add walnuts. Mix until create stiff dough. If it is too soft, add a little bit of saltine crumbs. It shouldn't crumble, though. If it starts to crumble, add 1-2 spoons of milk, or water.
