These bars are a great make-ahead dessert. I made them a day ahead and they were just as delicious the next day.

I had some trouble getting the meringue to stiffen. I think I might have overbeaten it.

These bars are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I love the texture of these bars. The meringue is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, and the dates add a nice chewy contrast.

These bars are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have a few egg whites left over from making other recipes, and these bars are a perfect way to use them up.

I'm not usually a big fan of dates, but these bars were surprisingly delicious. The meringue is so light and fluffy, and it pairs perfectly with the chewy dates.

These bars are the perfect balance of sweet and tart. The dates add a lovely chewiness, while the meringue is light and airy. I love serving these at parties because they're always a crowd-pleaser.

I love how easy these bars are to make. I always have dates and egg whites on hand, so I can whip these up anytime I'm craving something sweet.

These date meringue bars were a hit! They were easy to make and turned out perfectly. The combination of the chewy dates and the crispy meringue was divine. I will definitely be making these again.
