It’s a well-used and versatile kind of word, isn’t it? We love our country, we love our parents, we love our school. We love children. We love pets. We love special places. We love our jobs. We might also love a certain pair of jeans, a brand of shoes, a favorite movie, and a special book. We love flowers, a unique wine, and a favorite recipe.
I love food. I also love to cook, and just as I was thinking about all this love stuff, I happened upon a recipe that caught my eye, and one that was perfect for this month’s celebrations.

3 egg whites
1 tsp. vinegar
1/8 tsp. salt
3 1/2 tbsp. raspberry Jello
3/4 c. sugar
1 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
Beat egg whites with vinegar and salt until stiff, but not dry. Gradually beat in raspberry gelatin and sugar. Fold in chocolate chips. Drop from a teaspoon onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 250 degrees for 25 minutes. Turn off heat and leave kisses in oven for 20 minutes or longer.
You know what I really love about this recipe? It’s easy peasy! Have I mentioned that I love easy peasy? What about you? Do you have any special Valentines’ recipes you love? Do share!
The question is whether my kids will allow their daddy a meringue kiss or two!
ReplyDeleteFortunately they are fond of sharing the non-meringue variety of kisses!
Mmmmmm......sounds tasty! I've always loved red velvet cake on Valentine's Day. I have absolutely no idea how its made, but it's always yummy! I will however try these meringue kisses!
ReplyDeleteI made them last night! I would use a tad less jello next time, maybe try with 2 T. The gelatin does benefit the way the meringue sets up when baking, so I'll try this technique with some other recipes. Pretty pink color, too. Jas, I think the red velvet cake uses food dye to get that color. I made it once with beet juice to go the organic route - major failure. LOL.
ReplyDeleteThe kisses look yummy. I'll have to give this a try. Thanks for the recipe.
