Recipe View If the kisses stick to the parchment, lay a hot, damp towel on a flat surface and place the parchment paper with the kisses on top. Let stand for about 1 minute to loosen the kisses with steam. Gently remove them with a spatula.

For best results, ensure your egg whites are at room temperature and your bowl is completely clean and grease-free.
Use gel food coloring sparingly to tint the meringue for colorful kisses.
Store Meringue Kisses in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their crisp texture.
Experiment with different extracts and crushed candies for endless flavor variations, such as peppermint extract with crushed candy canes, or lemon extract with lemon zest.

  • Milford Hopperaynor

    My meringues came out a little sticky. Any suggestions?

  • Deshaun Koelpin

    These were so much fun to make with my kids! They loved decorating them with different sprinkles.

  • Enos Carter

    Make sure you whip the egg whites to stiff peaks; this is very important. Also, make sure to allow the meringues to cool completely in the oven with the door slightly open. This process is key to a well-baked meringue kiss.

  • Aubree Cummerata

    The almond extract gives these meringues a lovely, subtle flavor. Letting them cool in the oven really prevents cracking.

  • Mariane Kling

    I tried these with crushed Oreos instead of toffee bits, and they were a huge hit! Thanks for the inspiration.
