Amazing Peppermint Kisses

Directions

In a mixing 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.

Spoon meringue into a pastry bag or resealable plastic bag. If using a plastic bag, cut a 1 inch hole in a corner.

Squeeze 1½ inch kisses of meringue onto ungreased foil-lined baking sheets. Sprinkle half with red crushed candy canes and half with green candy canes.

Bake at 225 degrees F for 1½ to 2 hours or until dry but not brown. Cool; remove from foil. Store in an airtight container.
