Ingredients
- ¼ cup shortening butter flavored
- ¼ cup butter softened, unsalted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg whole, large
- 2 egg separated, large
- 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows
- ¾ cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 13x9 baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the shortening, butter, and sugar until creamy. Beat in the whole egg, and the two egg YOLKS.
- Slowly add in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Combine until fully blended.
- Press batter into prepared baking dish. Top with marshmallows and chocolate chips.
- In a separate clean and dry mixing bowl, beat the two egg whites until stiff. Fold in the brown sugar and pour over the stop of the bars. Spread gently, making sure it touches the sides of the pan (this will help it rise during baking, and not shrink).
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the meringue on top is lightly browned. Remove from oven and cool completely.
- Cut into bars and enjoy. We prefer to keep these chilled in the refrigerator, they taste great cold!
Notes
- The cookie dough is thick, so instead of pouring it into the baking pan, you’ll need to spread it, and your hands are the best tool for the job.
- If you’re using a smaller baking dish, you might need to bake the bars for more than 40 minutes.
- Make sure the raw meringue touches all edges of the dish for the best rise.
- Store any leftover Mud Hen Bars in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
