YUMMIES, BARS, WITH BROWN SUGAR MERINGUE image

This recipe was given to me by Mom,and she got it from a friend in 1968; so it's withstood the TEST of TIME! They have a cooky base, chopped nuts of your choice, and a brown sugar meringue topping. They just MELT in your mouth, and are so yummy, they came by the name easily!

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 16

FIRST MIX FLOUR, BAKING POWDER AND SALT
1 3/4 c flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
IN A SEPARATE BOWL PLACE BUTTER, AND BEAT WITH GRANULATED SUGAR.
ADD EGG YOLKS AND WHOLE EGG, AND VANILLA AND MIX WELL.
1 stick butter, softened
1 c granulated sugar
2 egg yolks, reserve whites
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 whole egg
MIX THE DRY INGREDIENTS INTO THE BUTTER MIXER. THIS WILL BE A VERY STIFF DOUGH, I USE A STAND MIXER.
IN A SEPARATE BOWL BEAT EGG WHITES UNTIL STIFF, AND MIX IN BROWN SUGAR
2 egg whites
1 c light brown sugar
1 pkg 8 oz. of chopped walnuts or pecans; optional

Steps:

  • 1. Grease a 9 X 9 pan, or small rectangular pan; Preheat Oven to 350 degrees.
  • 2. If you want to add chopped nuts, they can be placed in the egg white mixture or spread on top of the first layer, the cooky base.
  • 3. Spread the cooky dough in the pan, top with the nuts if desired, and spread the egg white mixture over all.
  • 4. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. This does get brown, so you need to check it, and it can get a crackled top which is normal. If you under-bake it, the cooky layer is soggy, so let it get brown, but not burned on top.Cool and then cut into small bars or squares.
  • 5. THIS RECIPE CAN EASILY BE DOUBLED, AND I MADE THEM IN A JELLY ROLL PAN WHICH HOLDS THE DOUBLED RECIPE. IT THEN CAN BE CUT INTO ABOUT 36 BARS.

I'm not a big fan of cheesecake, but I loved these bars. The cheesecake filling was light and fluffy, and not too dense.

These bars are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have a few egg whites left over after making a batch of cookies or pancakes, and these bars are the perfect way to use them up.

I found that the bars were a little too sweet for my taste, so I reduced the amount of sugar in the meringue by half. They were still plenty sweet, but not overly so.

These bars are a bit time-consuming to make, but they are definitely worth the effort. They are so rich and decadent, you'll only need a small piece to satisfy your sweet tooth.

I added some fresh berries to the top of the meringue before baking, and it gave the bars a beautiful pop of color and flavor.

I used a store-bought graham cracker crust to save time, and it worked perfectly. The bars still tasted homemade and everyone loved them.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of meringue, but I'm so glad I did! The meringue was actually my favorite part of the bar. It was perfectly toasted and had a lovely marshmallow-like texture.

These bars were absolutely delicious! The crust was perfectly crumbly, the cheesecake filling was creamy and smooth, and the meringue topping was light and fluffy.

I've made these Yummys Bars with Brown Sugar Meringue twice now, and they are a hit with my family and friends! The combination of the shortbread crust, the creamy cheesecake filling, and the fluffy meringue topping is irresistible.
