Yield Makes 30

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large egg whites
1 cup confectioners' sugar
Fine salt
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 ounces roasted salted peanuts, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
1/3 cup miniature chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium heatproof bowl, combine egg whites, confectioners' sugar, and pinch of salt. Set bowl over (not in) a pot of barely simmering water and cook, whisking constantly, until mixture is warm and frothy and sugar is dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove bowl from heat and, using an electric mixer, beat mixture on high until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 3 minutes. Beat in vanilla, then fold in peanuts and chocolate. Transfer mixture to a quart-size zip-top bag; with scissors, cut a 3/4-inch hole in one corner.
  • Pipe 30 mounds (1 inch tall and 1 1/2 inches wide), 1 inch apart, on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake, using the handle of a wooden spoon to keep oven door slightly ajar, until dry to the touch, about 20 minutes, rotating halfway through. Let cool completely on sheet on a wire rack before peeling off parchment.

NAN'S MERINGUE KISSES - EASY TO BE CREATIVE



Nan's Meringue Kisses - Easy to Be Creative image

This is a basic meringue kiss recipe which is easy to do and open for experiments. I started with a simple vanilla flavor kiss and have made lots of different flavors. These have always been a hit for the holidays. NOTE: Depending on your oven, you may have to use a lower temperature than suggested so the kisses don't brown too much on the bottom.

Time 1h5m

Yield 24 kisses

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 egg white
1 pinch salt
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250º degrees.
  • Beat egg white & salt with mixer until frothy or fluffy. Add sugar very slowly while still using mixer.
  • Beat until a stiff peak forms and sugar is dissolved.
  • Fold in by hand vanilla.
  • Spoon (teaspoonful) onto lightly greased cookie sheet.
  • Bake 40-45 minutes.
  • Let cool slightly before removing to cooling rack.
  • Store in airtight container.
  • You can add (1/4 cup per batch or desired amount) chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, mint chips, etc. Fold these in last.
  • You can also substitute the vanilla with any flavor extract. I have used cherry extract with chocolate chips. These were excellent.
  • You can also add a couple drops of food coloring to the desired flavor of the kiss. If you use a drop of yellow with a drop of red to get an orange color you can use chocolate chips to have a Halloween kiss.
  • I don't suggest using wet ingredients such as maraschino cherries, pineapple, etc.

HAZELNUT MERINGUE KISSES

Yield Makes 42 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder
1/2 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch-process)
3/4 cup hazelnuts (about 3 1/2 ounces), toasted lightly and skinned and ground fine
42 whole hazelnuts,toasted lightly and skinned
6 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 225°F. and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Fit a large pastry bag with a 1/2-inch plain tip.
  • In a bowl with am electric mixer beat whites with cream of tartar and salt until they just hold soft peaks. Add sugar in a stream and beat in vanilla and espresso and cocoa powders, beating until meringue holds stiff, glossy peaks.
  • Working quickly, fold ground hazelnuts into meringue gently but thoroughly and fill pastry bag with meringue. Pipe 42 dots (each about 1/2 teaspoon) of meringue onto parchment 1/2 inch apart and top each dot with a whole hazelnut (meringue dots will anchor nuts). Pipe meringue over hazelnuts, encasing them, to form cookies about 1 inch wide and 1 3/4 inches high.
  • Bake cookies in middle and lower third of oven, switching positions of baking sheets halfway through baking, 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until meringue os form on the outside and pale golden (cookies will fall during baking). Remove parchment with cookies from baking sheets and cool on racks (cookies will continue to crisp as they cool). Carefully peel cookies off parchment.
  • In a double boiler or a metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water melt chocolate, stirring until smooth, and remove from het. Dip top half of each cookie in melted chocolate, transferring cookies, chocolate sides up, to a wax-paper-lined tray. Chill cookies until chocolate is hardened, about 15 minutes. Cookies keep, arranged in layers between sheets of wax paper in an airtight container and chilled, 5 days.

Tips:

  • Use good quality chocolate: The chocolate is the main flavor in these kisses, so it's important to use a good quality chocolate that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Don't overbeat the egg whites: Overbeaten egg whites will make the kisses tough. Beat them until they are stiff but still glossy.
  • Use a piping bag to shape the kisses: This will help you get nice, even kisses. If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a spoon to drop the meringue onto the baking sheet.
  • Bake the kisses at a low temperature: This will help them to dry out without browning.
  • Let the kisses cool completely before dipping them in chocolate: This will help the chocolate to set properly.
  • Use a variety of toppings: You can use any type of topping you like on your kisses. Some popular options include chopped nuts, sprinkles, and crushed candy canes.

Conclusion:

Chocolate peanut meringue kisses are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are light and airy, with a sweet and nutty flavor. The chocolate coating adds a rich and decadent touch. These kisses are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
