3 large egg whites, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups M&M’s Mini Baking Bits
Garnish: (optional)
M&M’s Mini Baking Bits
Heat oven to 200 degrees F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
In medium bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy. Slowly beat in sugar until stiff, shiny peaks form. Fold in M&M bits.
Spoon 12 (2- to 2 1/2 inch wide) mounds onto prepared baking sheet. Garnish with M&M’s bits, if desired, dotting tops. Bake 2 hours, until dry and crisp. Turn off oven; let cool in oven, 2 hours.
Makes 12 meringues. One meringue per serving.
INGREDIENTS:
1 bag of chocolate chips (any kind you like)
1 bag of white chocolate chips
24 mini candy canes, crushed *do not crush using a food processor – place candy canes in a zip lock bag and use a hammer to crush into small pieces
DIRECTIONS:
Line the bottom of a 9×13 pan with parchment paper. Pour (brown) chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave chocolate chips in increments of 30 seconds stirring the chips each time until chocolate chips have completed melted and mixture is smooth. Spread melted chocolate as evenly as possibly into lined pan. Place pan into freezer for 20 minutes. Repeat the same melting process with the white chips. While chocolate is still smooth, stir in half of the crushed candy cane mixture. Allow the white chocolate to slightly cool for a minute. Remove pan from freezer and spread white chocolate/crushed candy canes mixture on top of the chocolate layer. Spread white chocolate as quickly as possible. Top off with remaining crushed candy cane and gently pat down with the back of a spatula. Return pan to freezer for 20 minutes. Remove from freezer and gently lift the whole mixture from the pan with a butter knife. You should now have a solid sheet of peppermint bark. Remove parchment paper and break into pieces. Store any left over bark in a ziplock bag and place in the freezer. Enjoy!
*if white chocolate chips do not melt smooth, stir in 2 tablespoons of shortening.
