Meringue-Topped Chocolate Bars image

I was first introduced to this tasty treat at a friend's house in 1956. Since then, I have made these bars too many times to count! The secret to neatly slicing the bars is using a hot, wet knife. -Alice McMasters, Oxford, Florida

The bars were a little dry. I think I'll add some more butter to the chocolate base next time.

I had some trouble getting the meringue to stiffen. I ended up having to beat it for longer than the recipe said.
