  Crazyblondb, allrecipes.com has a great search engine. I put your keywords in, and it had one hit--maybe this is it?? (This person added peanut butter chips, which weren't mentioned in yours, but I guess you could just take them out and substitute more chocolate ones.)

  Double Chip Meringue Bars

  SUBMITTED BY:Dawn Onuffer

  "This recipe came from my mom. It originally called just for chocolate chips, but the addition of peanut butter chips was a huge success. And the meringue topping makes these bars extra special."

  COOK TIME	25 Min
  READY IN	45 Min

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup peanut butter chips
  • TOPPING:
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar

  DIRECTIONS

  1. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugars. Beat in the egg yolks, water and vanilla; mix well. Combine the next four ingredients; gradually add to creamed mixture. Spread into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking pan. Sprinkle with chips and pat lightly.
  2. For topping beat egg whites in a mixing bowl on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add brown sugar 2 tablespoons at a time, beating on high until stiff peaks form. Spread evenly over chips. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars. Store in the refrigerator.

  It's just a garnish, instead of canned cranberries.

  Everyone loves it--even my picky teenager! She'll make a cold turkey sandwich the next day and put this sauce on it as a condiment.

  This is my FAVORITE Thanksgiving recipe, from allrecipes.com. I make it every year! Easy and yummy. (Description below not mine, but the person who originally posted the recipe.)

  Oranged Cranberry Sauce

  "This recipe was graciously shared with me by a Jamaican friend many years ago. It makes a delicious sauce, different from any other cranberry sauce I've ever tasted or made. It does not 'gel,' but you do want to cook it long enough to make a good, thick consistency."
  Original recipe yield: 24 servings

  PREP TIME	10 Min
  COOK TIME	1 Hr 15 Min
  READY IN	1 Hr 25 Min

  SERVINGS About scaling and conversions

  INGREDIENTS

  • 2 (12 ounce) packages fresh cranberries
  • 1 orange, zested
  • 3 cinnamon sticks
  • 2 cups orange juice
  • 2 cups packed brown sugar

  DIRECTIONS

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine cranberries, orange zest, cinnamon, orange juice, and brown sugar. Add enough water to cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Immediately reduce heat, and simmer for about 1 hour, or until the sauce has thickened. Taste for sweetness, and adjust with additional sugar if necessary. You can not overcook, so continue cooking until you have a good thick consistency. Let mixture cool, then refrigerate in a covered container.

  What was the reason why you were never made an elder or Ministerial Servant

  by twinkletoes in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the reason i heard constantly by the elders, as to ones spiritual progress in the organisation was, .

  "brothers are appointed by holy spirit.".

  if this is the case, why is god speaking to himself when he says in 1 tim 3 v 6 .not a newly converted man, for fear that he might get puffed up with prideetc.. to re-iterate if god appoints elders, why would he give himself this advice ???.

  Email responses from "Ed"

  some time back we shared some replies we had received from jw friends to our "farewell" letter.. (see http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/121203/1.ashx ).

  one among them, "ed" seems to want to continue the dialogue.

  however, i fear the dialogue is not really legitimate.
