Chocolate Meringue Kisses

Chocolate Meringue Kisses
Recipe Tip
Egg-stra Special Whites
Egg whites provide the protein from eggs but don't contain the cholesterol found in egg yolks. That's good news for your heart.
Full of Flavor
Try other flavors of chocolate kisses, such as cherry, peanut butter, or caramel.

Photo not these cookies
I think the wrong photo was downloaded for this recipe. There's no way this recipes looks like picture. Anyway, they tasted great but don't know why they stuck to parchment paper. I followed recipe to the "T." Had to freeze them to get off paper! Sticky!

CHOCOLATE KISS REVIEW
The picture that is displayed does not match up with the directions. If you place the chocolate kiss in the center and press down, you are not going to get the nice peaks..also they do not mention dipping them in chocolate.

YUMMY
I LOVED THESE! I had to find something gluten free to serve to a friend. These were melt in your mouth good! Totally making these again! (I cooked only about 12-14 minutes)
