Ingredients
- Butter and flour or baking spray for the pan
- ½ cup butter, plus more for the pan
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 large eggs, separated
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups (200 grams) all purpose flour

Recommended Equipment
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Butter and flour a 9-by-13-inch baking pan or spray it with baking spray.
- In a mixing bowl with an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar for 3 minutes or until light and fluffy. Beat in the whole egg, 2 egg yolks, and vanilla (you'll be using the whites later). Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl and stir to blend. Add the dry ingredients to the first mixture and mix on low until combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff; fold in the brown sugar.
- Spread the batter in the baking pan and sprinkle with the nuts, chocolate chips, and marshmallows. Spoon the meringue evenly over the marshmallow layer and gently spread to cover. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cool the bars in the pan on a rack, then cut and serve.
