These are fun, refreshing and low in fat! notes field editor Lynn Bernstetter of Lake Elmo, Minnesota. Ingredients:
2 egg whites |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 peppermint candy canes (one green, one red), crushed |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Add salt and cream of tartar; beat until soft peaks form. Beat in sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until stiff and glossy.
2. Spoon meringue into a pastry bag or a resealable plastic bag. If using a plastic bag, cut a 1-in. hole in a corner.
3. Squeeze 1-1/2-in. kisses of meringue onto ungreased foil-lined baking sheets. Sprinkle half with red crushed candy canes and half with green candy canes.
4. Bake at 225° for 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until dry but not brown. Cool; remove from foil. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 3 dozen.
