Ingredients:

Serving

2/3 cup milk chocolate chips
1 tsp plus 3 tbsp shortening, divided
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp plus 1/3 cup packed brown sugar, divided
1 egg, separated
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
dash salt

Directions:

In a microwave, melt milk chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon shortening; stir until smooth. Set aside.
In a small bowl, cream sugar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar and remaining shortening until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolk and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Spread into an ungreased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pan. Spread chocolate evenly over crust.
In a small bowl, beat egg white on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining brown sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved, about 6 minutes.
Carefully spread meringue over chocolate layer. Bake at 350° for 15-18 minutes or until top is dry. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars; refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 8 servings.
