Chocolate Peppermint Meringues

These Chocolate Peppermint Meringues would make a great holiday gift for your hostess or would be great as a dessert for your own party.

Ingredients

- egg whites - sugar - bittersweet chocolate - peppermint candy 

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 250°F. Using a box grater, slice/shred the chocolate.

In a mixer, beat the egg whites on low until frothy, then increase the speed to medium high and mix until stiff peaks form

Turn the speed to low and slowly add the sugar. You will know this is done when the meringue holds on to the whisk.

Gently fold in the chocolate and peppermint using a spatula.

Pipe the meringues, or drop by spoonful, onto a parchment lined baking sheet.

Bake for 50 minutes or until you can lift the meringues off the parchment without them sticking.
