CHOCOLATE MERINGUE BARS
I love layered bar cookies and this one appealed to me because the use beaten egg whites instead of the more common condensed milk looked quite interesting. The resulting cookie is a soft thin blondie-like bar with with a gooey layer of chocolate topped with a crispy shell.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature before you start making the meringue. This will help them whip up more easily.
- Don't overbeat the egg whites. Overbeaten egg whites will be dry and crumbly, and they won't hold their shape well.
- Add the sugar to the egg whites gradually, beating constantly. This will help prevent the meringue from becoming grainy.
- Bake the chocolate bars at a low temperature. This will help them to set slowly and evenly.
- Let the chocolate bars cool completely before you cut them into pieces. This will help them to hold their shape.
Conclusion:
Meringue-topped chocolate bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a formal party. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dessert that is sure to impress your guests.
