Christmas Meringues

I love meringues and my mother loves christmas so i thought i could whip up a batch of chocolate and orange covered meringues. Yum. This recipe is straight forward and simple. I am sure you'll love it!

Ingredients:

• 5 egg whites
• 350g of caster sugar
• parchment paper
• 250g of milk chocolate
• Candied oranges

1. Preheat oven at 120 degrees Celsius
2. In a mixer beat egg whites and half of the sugar. Once it becomes like a sticky mixture add the remaining of the sugar. You will know when to stop if your mixture forms peaks. 
3. In a piping bag, pipe the meringue onto the parchment paper in small circles and put in the oven for 45 minutes. 
4. Open the oven door and keep it slightly open with a wooden spoon and continue cooking for another two hours at 100 degrees Celsius. 
5. Remove from the oven and let cool. 
6. Melt the chocolate and cover each meringue with it and add the orange pieces on top! 
7. Eat!

I didn't cover every meringue and kept a few without chocolate. Both batches are so delicious and christmas-y. Enjoy!!!
