CHOCOLATE MERINGUE BARS

Chocolate Meringue Bars image

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.

Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees.
