Strawberry Meringue with Chocolate Chips


A very simple and easy spring treat that my kids love! Happy Easter everyone.
Ingredients:
3 egg whites
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 tablespoons red gelatin powder
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup chocolate chips

Directions:
Carefully seperate egg whites from yolks - ANY yolk left in the egg whites and you will not be able to make the meringue! In a clean dry bowl whip egg whites, white vinegar and salt until stiff (but not dry!). Add in sugar and jello powder (Traditionally we use Red Jello - such as raspberry or Cherry -- ). Fold in chocolate chips. On buttered cookie sheet, drop spoonfuls of meringue - I do smaller, bite sized cookies. Bake on a buttered cookie sheet for 30 minutes at 250* then turn off the oven and let them sit there over night. Do not peek or open the oven! They will turn out soft and chewy! Preparation time is to make the meringue - Cooking time is total time to make.
