Mud Hen Bars

August 19, 2012 By Spoonful of Sugar - 6 Comments

Sarah wanted to bake a sweet treat and came across a recipe for Mud Hen Bars. They have an intriguing name but really filled the brief. They consist of a vanilla cookie base, a chocolate chip and marshmallow centre, and are topped with a delicious brown sugar meringue. Mud Hen Bars are a mouthwatering scrumptious treat!

Ingredients :

1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs, divided (1 egg, 2 yolks, and 2 egg whites)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups plain (all-purpose) flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk (semi sweet) chocolate chips
1 cup mini marshmallows
1 cup dark brown sugar
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 175 Degree C (350 degrees F). Grease a lamington (9 x 13 inch) pan and set aside.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together butter and granulated sugar until creamy. Beat in 1 whole egg and 2 egg yolks (put aside the whites for later.) Beat in the vanilla extract.
3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Blend until just combined. Spread mixture into 9×13″ pan. Sprinkle with marshmallows, and chocolate chips.
4. Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the brown sugar. Spread mixture evenly over marshmallows and chocolate chips. Bake for about 30 minutes or until bars are a deep golden brown. Let bars cool completely. Cut into squares and serve.

Recipe Adapted from Two Peas and Their Pod

The Mud Hen Bars got the thumbs up from our family.
