Those little cute meringue kisses will make perfect chocolate presents for Valentine’s Day this year.
Here goes affordable French delicacy, meringue chocolate. Those cute chocolate bites are so delicious and this recipe requires only a few ingredients in your pantry. But I admit it takes time: meringue should be baked for a long time at a low temperature and they should be completely dry to be crisp meringue cookies. But it is totally worth the time. Just look at them. Those little cute goodies will make perfect Valentine’s Day presents.

I just tried this recipe and it was really fun. But I don’t know why half of them were burnt at the top… but the other half were okay. Did I do something wrong?
Eugenie says
At the halfway point, turn the pan round and then continue cooking. The temperature is not even in your oven. Anyway glad to hear that it was fun, Jocelyn! :)

Hi Eugenie,
I want to try this recipe today as it seems really easy! Just to check with you, how long do I need to dry the meringue kisses in the oven? Thanks a lot!
Eugenie says
About 4 to 5 hours. Happy cooking, Eloise! :)

Hi Eugenie, need some advise from you. My daughter had tried this recipe but it turn out bad. The meringue kisses are very soft and they all stuck on the baking paper. When keeping the meringue kisses dry in the oven, do i need to on or off the electrical? Thank you
Eugenie says
There are several possible reasons for that: 1) The egg white wasn’t whipped enough. 2) the egg white wasn’t measured correctly. 3) the meringue didn’t have soft peaks. And when dry the meringue, please turn off the oven. Better luck next time!
