Recipe below contains my modifications.
Ingredients:
bottom layer--
3 c. finely crushed graham crackers
1 1/2 sticks (12 T.) unsalted butter, melted
2 T. light brown sugar (packed)
1/4 tsp. fine sea salt
middle layer--
1 stick cold, unsalted butter, cut in large pats
4 oz. unsweetened chocolate, broken into pieces
1 1/4 c. sugar
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. fine sea salt
2 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 c. all-purpose flour
top layer--
3 large egg whites
3/4 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
Directions:
1. For the bottom layer: Heat oven to 350°F. Line a 9" square baking pan with aluminum foil, with overhang on at least 2 sides.
2. In a medium bowl, mix all bottom layer ingredients together (graham crackers, melted butter, brown sugar, and sea salt) until well combined (it will be a crumbly texture). Press crumbs into prepared baking pan in an even layer. Bake for 8-10 min, until lightly browned. Let cool completely.
3. For the middle layer: Heat oven to 350°F. In a double boiler, melt and stir together the butter and chocolate, until smooth and completely combined.
4. Remove top pan from the double boiler (to remove from heat). Whisk in the sugar, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Then whisk in the eggs until smooth, followed by the flour, stirring until just combined.
5. Pour the chocolate mixture and spread evenly over the cooled bottom layer. Bake for 25 minutes; edges will be set, middle will be slightly jiggly. Let cool completely.
6. For the top layer: Heat broiler (hi) with rack 8" from boiler. Broil for 1 min, just enough to brown the tips. (Alternatively, this could be done with a kitchen torch.)
