We address the possible emergence of spin triplet superconductivity in CrO$_{2}$ bilayers, which are half-metals with fully spin-polarized conducting bands. Starting from a lattice model, we show that chiral $p+ip$ states compete with non-chiral $p$-wave ones. At large doping, the $p+ip$ channel has a sequence of topological phase transitions that can be tuned by gating effects and interaction strength. Among several phases, we find chiral topological phases having a single Majorana mode at the edge. We show that different topological superconducting phases could spontaneously emerge in the vicinity of the van-Hove singularities of the band.
