Chocolate Dipped Peppermint Meringues-the lightness of a Meringue with just the hint of peppermint complemented with a light dip in chocolate.
This time of year, I always find myself with extra egg whites in the refrigerator.
I could make an egg white omelet with them but, um, no, not gonna happen. I don’t get omelets that often and if I’m gonna have one, I want the whole package. The whole egg, the gooey cheese, some bacon, mushrooms…and anything else I might find in the refrigerator to throw in there.
I could make a white cake I suppose but really, I don’t need a white cake right now. Although a white cake decorated all pretty for the season might be nice.
Maybe with the next egg whites.
No, when I have extra egg whites, I almost always make Meringues with them.
Meringues are my guilt free cookie. Fat free. Light Airy, satisfying. I’ve heard some people go so far as to call then “healthy.” Now, I’m not calling them that but, yeah, this is probably about as “healthy” a cookie as you’ll ever see from me.

December 4, 2013 at 12:08 amMeringues, macarons or marshmallows; those are my top 3 things to make with leftover meringues. Egg white only omelettes taste like rubber in my opinion!

December 4, 2013 at 11:32 pmThey look so yummy, I have never made meringues, I might have to give these a go. Two questions though, about how many does this make, and how long will they keep? I would like to make them as gifts. Thanks.

June 19, 2014 at 9:49 amCould you add food coloring to the egg whites to add color to the meringues? If so, at what point would you add it? Thanks in advance.

June 21, 2014 at 8:16 pmYes, you can add food coloring, I would add it just before the stiff peaks form, or if you want s streaked color, you can fold it in after you are done beating the egg whites to stiff peaks.
