Two Easy Steps: Turn A Basic Meringue into a Special Treat

Even your kids can take on this job!

These meringues are great to have around (read freezer). Just a simple addition elevates these to a treat to serve guests alongside a cup of tea or as dessert. 

You’ll need: 

1 3.5 ounce bar of dark chocolate, melted (see here how to melt chocolate)

½ cup walnut nibs 

Meringues (see this post on how to achieve the perfect meringue) 

1. Working one meringue at a time, dip it into the melted chocolate and then immediately into the walnut nibs. 
2. Lay on a piece of parchment paper to freeze. 

Meringues are best eaten fresh but do freeze well. Just make sure to line them up without touching and seal well. I like to use a sealable container.  

You can also mix the chocolate into the meringue. First, process your chocolate in a food processor. Carefully fold it into your whipped meringue and proceed to pipe and bag as instructed in this post.
