How to Make Hoosier Bars
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup (113g) packed light brown sugar, ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar, and ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large egg yolks and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The mixture will be crumbly.
- Stir in 1 ½ cups (190g) semi-sweet chocolate morsels and ½ cup (60g) salted peanuts.
- Press the dough evenly into the bottom of a greased 13x9 inch baking pan.
- In a clean, dry bowl, beat 2 large egg whites until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the remaining ½ cup (113g) packed light brown sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Spread the meringue evenly over the crust.
- Sprinkle with the remaining ½ cup (60g) semi-sweet chocolate morsels and ¼ cup (30g) salted peanuts.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly browned and the crust is set.
- Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into bars.
- Enjoy these irresistible Hoosier Bars while still warm—they’re best fresh!
