Directions

  1. Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.

  2. Combine egg whites, cream of tartar, salt, vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and green food coloring in a large bowl. Use an electric mixer to beat until soft peaks form.

  3. Beat sugar into egg whites one tablespoon at a time. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form, and mixture is glossy and very smooth, 4 to 5 minutes.

  4. Drop the meringue by half teaspoons onto prepared cookie sheet, top with chocolate kisses. Spoon a scant teaspoon of meringue over chocolate, and smooth to cover completely.
