The Ingredients
4 egg whites
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 tbsp licorice powder
I was super excited to use my kitchenaid stand-up mixer. I also love meringue and have only made it once in my life because I never had a proper mixer to get those stiff peaks in egg whites that meringues are famous for. There are few ingredients in meringues, but the whole process is a labor of love.
First, egg the egg whites into the bowl of a mixer and beat on medium-high for several minutes. Stiff peaks should form. Then, mix in the sugar, a little bit at a time. Same goes for the cocoa and licorice powders. It should take a few minutes for the mixture to be fully blended.
It should look like this:
Scoop out the mixture with a spoon and put on a baking sheet. Cook the meringues at 200 degrees for two hours.
Boom! Crunchy, yet chewy, with a lot of flavor. The chocolate-licorice combination is delicious!

Ready to eat- and dusted with some licorice powder to make them look a little fancier.
