Ingredients
Crust:
- ½ cup salted butter softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 3 egg yolks save the whites for later in the recipe
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Toppings:
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Meringue:
- 3 egg whites
- ½ cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- With an electric mixer (handheld or stand mixer), beat the butter and granulated sugar together until creamy. Add the egg yolks and vanilla and beat again until well-combined. Stir in the flour, salt and baking powder and mix until the dough comes together.
- Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips and marshmallows over the top.
- In a clean bowl beat the egg whites until soft peaks form (they'll be foamy at first and then turn white and thick). Add the brown sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
- Dollop the egg white mixture over the top of the bars and using an offset spatula or thin knife, spread as evenly as possible (it's ok if the chocolate chips and marshmallows peek through, it doesn't have to be perfect).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the top of the bars are golden brown and is set in the middle.
- Let the bars cool completely. For easier cutting, run a sharp knife under hot water, wipe dry and cut.
