These little white puffs of decadence are so festive for Christmas when the candy canes are plentiful. This would also be great for a gift in a pretty Christmas tin tucked away in some tissue paper.

6 dozen (change servings and units)

Ingredients

4 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup sugar
4 peppermint candy canes, crushed

Directions

1
In a mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Sprinkle with salt and cream of tartar; beat until soft peaks form.
