Light as air, these delicious little Meringue Kisses can hold a multitude of sweet surprises.
These little meringue kisses are incredibly simple and easy to make, and will satisfy any sweet tooth. Here, I've topped them with pineapple and chocolate, but you can let your imagination guide you. Other ideas include coconut, ground nuts, chopped dried fruit, a dusting of cinnamon and sugar, or candied ginger. Or sprinkle them with jimmies for the holidays - red, white and blue for the 4th of July, green for St Patrick's Day, or yellow and orange for the fall holidays.
