HALFWAY TO HEAVEN BARS (MERINGUE TOPPED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE BARS)

I’ve been saving the best of the week to post on FRIYAY!!! These Halfway to Heaven Bars are all I need in this world. They are SO delicious, just the right amount of soft and chewy, and absolutely addicting. They’re super simple, just a thin layer of chocolate chip cookie topped with brown sugar meringue, but they’re a total delight. Heavenly even, hence their name. This is my mom’s recipe, so THANK YOU MOM! You have passed down many great things to me. Your sense of humor, your wacky ways, and your organizational skills (just kidding, I totally didn’t inherit that), but these Halfway to Heaven Bars might be the best thing I have gotten from you. MMM!

When I used to live in Florida and would come home for Christmas, I would hope and pray these would be on the menu for the holidays. Mom would never disappoint. She makes SO MANY BAKED GOODS for Christmas, my brother and I always make fun of her. But I mean, it’s also amazing and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I mean just look at these amazing cookie bars!

I cut these Halfway to Heaven Bars much larger than they need to be, because I shamelessly thought they photographed better that way. A little goes a long way with these babes, so even a small cookie does the trick. This recipe makes a large amount because you can cut them pretty small, win win! Take some to work, save some for Christmas, hide some away from your kids…you get the idea.
