Hoosier Bars
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325° F.
- Mix flour and baking soda together.
- Beat 1/2 cup brown sugar, sugar and butter in a separate mixing bowl until creamy.
- Add egg yolks and vanilla extract to creamed mixture.
- Gradually mix in flour mixture until crumbly.
- Stir in 1 1/2 cups chocolate morsels and 1/2 cup peanuts.
- Press dough onto bottom of greased 13 x 9 inch pan (I put cling wrap over the dough and then just press with my hands- it just works better than any other technique I've found so far and this way my hands, though clean, aren't all over the food!).
- Beat egg whites until soft peaks form.
- Gradually beat in remaining brown sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Spread egg& sugar mixture over dough.
- Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup chocolate morsels and remaining 1/4 cup peanuts.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes.
- Cool on wire rack for approximately 20 minutes.
- Cut into bars while still warm- the BEST time to eat these!
