    Peppermint Meringues that are Naturally Dairy-Free and Gluten-Free

    These peppermint meringues are a naturally dairy-free and gluten-free treat for the holidays. They’re also a great way to use up leftover candy canes once the holidays have passed!

    Meringues make a lot with just a little – you really do get 48 cookies with just 2 egg whites! Luckily, the also keep for a while, so you can enjoy these sweet airy bites for many weeks to come. They’re also great for gifting and travel relatively well.

    This recipe is very easy, but it does require some patience! Be sure to let the meringues cool completely in the oven before you reach for one.
