Directions:
Grease a 9x13 pan and preheat oven to 350º
In a large bowl cream the shortening, butter and sugar. Beat in the whole egg and the yolks of the other two eggs.
In a separate bowl stir together the flour, baking powder and salt.
Combine the flour mixture with the creamed mixture, blending thoroughly.
Spread the batter into the baking pan, patting down with your hands if necessary.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips, marshmallows and nuts over the batter.
In a large bowl beat the two egg whites to stiff peaks. Fold in the brown sugar until well combined.
Spread brown sugar meringue over top of marshmallows, spreading to touch the edges of the pan to prevent it from shrinking during baking.
Bake for 30-40 minutes or until lightly browned on top. Cool completely and then cut into bars.
