Recipe - Mint Chocolate Meringues

2 lg Egg whites at room
temperature
1 teaspoon Cream of tartar
Three fourths cup Sugar
Green food coloring
6 ounce Chocolate mint chips

Beat egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add
sugar and beat until stiff. Add food coloring to desired color of green.
Lightly fold in chocolate mint chips. Drop by teaspoon full onto lined

regular chocolate chips for the mint.
