Peppermint Meringue Kisses

This is one treat that doesn’t stay long in my house, as soon as they are out of the oven my kids and husband practically run each other over to get to the kitchen and shovel these into their mouth. They seriously don’t last 5 minutes. Even I can’t resist popping a few into my mouth, and at only 15 calories each, I have very little guilt consuming these melt in your mouth Christmas treats.

  1. I make normal meringues all the time but I've never thought about flavouring them with peppermint and decorating them in the super-cute way you have!
  2. I love meringue cookies! My aunt used to make them every Christmas and I have a lot of fond memories of these cookies. Peppermint sounds like a great twist--I may have to try it sometime!
  3. Candy canes, peppermint & meringues are 3 favourite treats in my house. I think these are a fantastic combination of all three - so they're going to feature in our Christmas Eve supper. Thankyou
