• 1/8 tsp. cream of tarter
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 peppermint candy canes, crushed

Directions:

In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Add salt and cream of tarter, beat until soft peaks form. Beat in sugar 1 tablespoon at a time until stiff and glossy.

Spoon meringue into a plastic resealable bag. Snip one corner of the bag. Squeeze 1-1/2 inch kisses onto un-greased, foil-lined baking sheets. Sprinkle with crushed candy canes.

Bake at 200 degrees F for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until dry, but not brown.

Cool. Remove from foil. Store in airtight container. Makes about 3 dozen.
