\"Seafoam<\/a>I was in a sentimental baking mood today and decided to make a dessert from my mother-in-laws’ recipes. I had the Hubby go through her squares and bars recipes and he picked out seafoam squares. My mother-in-law was a very old school cook and baker. In the sense of cooking everything to death. All meat was well done, all the veggies cooked to an inch of their lives before dissolving, not much more seasoning than salt and pepper. But her baking? She knew how to turn out amazing towering poppyseed chiffon cakes, rhubarb cream pies with the fluffiest pie crust<\/a>, a wide variety of squares, you name it. All the old fashioned desserts. Seafoam squares were one of her staples.<\/p>\n

As with every recipe handed down, there were always changes made that weren’t marked down on the recipe card. This was no exception, but to find out what those changes were, I stuck to the recipe as it was laid out.<\/p>\n

Once out of the oven, both the Hubby and I realized what the change was. She doubled the egg white layer<\/em>. For my next batch, I will add 2 more egg whites, leaving the amount of brown sugar the same.<\/p>\n

As this treat is intensely sweet, I will be making another change – using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. Both of these edits are reflected below.<\/p>\n

As a side note, to keep this dairy free, I used unsweetened cashew milk and good ole margarine for the butter.<\/p>\n

Taste-wise, you could compare this to a cookie in a sheet pan form. Rather like an amped chocolate chip cookie, specially with that crunchy top layer!<\/p>\n
