My kids beg for these sweets every Christmas and Valentines day. They are lowfat, super easy, and adorable! Ingredients:
2 egg whites |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 peppermint candy canes, crushed |
Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Add salt and cream of tartar; beat until soft peaks form.
2. Beat in sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until stiff and glossy.
3. Spoon meringue into a pastry bag or a resealable plastic bag. If using a plastic bag, cut a 1 inch hole in the corner.
4. Squeeze 1-1/2 inch kisses of meringue onto ungreased foil-lined baking sheets. Sprinkle with crushed candy canes.
5. Bake at 225F for 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until dry but not brown. Cool; remove from foil. Store in an airtight container.
