Ingredients 3 peppermint candy canes 2 egg whites 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar 1/8 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup sugar Directions Crush candy canes and then set aside. Preheat oven to 225 degrees and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Add cream of tartar and salt. Beat until soft peak forms. Gradually add sugar and beat together until mixture becomes glossy and stiff. Spoon mixture into either a pastry bag or a plastic bag that has a corner cut off. Pipe mixture onto your prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the tops with your crushed candy canes. Bake in the oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until the meringue is dry, but not brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely on the pan before you remove them. Store in an air tight container. |
