Meringue Kisses

Meringue used to be my favorite when I was little. It is a type of dessert made from whipped egg whites and sugar. In the Philippines,  meringue is a popular kiss-shaped dessert available in almost all bakeshops and sari-sari stores. Its melt-in-your-mouth goodness makes the whole family love it.

Meringue is fun to make, easy to bake and a guilt-free treat. Try it!

    1. No. But if you don't store them in an airtight container after a few hours, they will be.
