Meringue Santa Hats image

My grandkids love it when I make meringues shaped like Santa hats. If they are here, they love to help-they like to put red glitter on the meringue and take such pride in knowing they have helped Grandma.-Bonnie Hawkins, Elkhorn, Wisconsin

My meringue hats turned out a little messy, but they still tasted great. I think I just need more practice.
