"Chocolate Chip Squares"

 

• Ready In: 1hr 5mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 12

ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• 1⁄2 cup brown sugar
• 1 1⁄2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 (11 1/2 ounce) package chocolate chips
• 2 egg whites
• 1 cup brown sugar

directions

1. Mix the butter, brown sugar, flour, baking powder, vanilla, milk, and egg yolks together until it forms a stiff dough.
2. Press dough into the bottom of a 9 X 9 inch pan.
3. Sprinkle chocolate chips over dough.
4. Make a meringue by whipping together the egg whites and brown sugar.
5. Pour meringue over dough and chocolate chips.
6. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes.
7. NOTES : I usually cut down on the brown sugar in the meringue by about 1/4 of a cup. The squares are rich enough that they don't miss it. I also use margarine instead of butter.

Im really sorry, but I didnt really like these. They are very "greasy" and the texture is a bit odd...not like a regular bar. There is way too much chocolate in them; when cooled they hardly stay together. I wasnt very thrilled about the meringue on top either. Im sorry... these just werent what Id thought they would be. I will try again with changes in the future.

These squares are delicious:) The meringue took a WHILE to get to the right consistency. I think next time I will use less chocolate chips, just because they are a little too chocolatey for me... everyone who tried them really liked them!
