Chocolate Chip Meringue Bars
Ingredients:
– 4 egg whites
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites on high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, vanilla extract, cream of tartar, and salt while continuing to beat the mixture until stiff peaks form. The meringue should be glossy and firm.
3. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, being careful not to deflate the meringue too much.
4. Spread the meringue mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until the meringue is set and lightly golden brown on top.
6. Remove from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the dish.
7. Place the bars on a cutting board and cut into squares or bars of your desired size.
8. Serve and enjoy these delicious Chocolate Chip Meringue Bars with a cup of hot cocoa or your favorite coffee for a delightful treat that is sure to impress!
