Have a Merry Meringue Christmas
Kids can’t keep their mitts off these snow-colored crunchy treats.
Prep time: 20 min.
Baking time: 120 min.
Cooling time: Dry out overnight
Difficulty: Easy
What you'll need:
- 1 bag M&M’S® Brand Mint Chocolate Candies for the Holidays
- 3 tablespoons egg white powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- Pinch salt
- 1/2 cup sugar
- Red paste food coloring
- 2 cookie sheet pans
- Foil paper
- Large resealable plastic bag
What to do:
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Line sheet pans with foil.
- Combine the egg white powder and 1/2 cup of warm water in a large bowl, stir with a fork until foamy and let stand for 2 minutes.
- Add the cream of tartar and salt, beat until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until stiff and shiny. Fold in the M&M’S® Brand Mint Chocolate Candies for the Holidays.
- Paint 3 lines of red food paste coloring on the inside of a resealable plastic bag. Spoon in the meringue mixture. Snip an inch corner from the bag and pipe wavy lines of meringue, about 5 inches long, onto the prepared cookie sheets (about 15 per sheet).
- Bake for approximately 2 hours, rotating the pan after the first hour. Turn off the oven and let stand over night to make crisp. Peel from foil and serve.
Tip: If you make these in advance, keep them fresh and crisp in an airtight container.
Makes 30 sticks.
