Mini Peppermint Meringues

"With their light, airy crunch and chewy little centers, Trader Joe’s Mini Peppermint Meringues have arrived just in time to sweeten your day and put some pep(permint) in your step this holiday season. When the hustle and bustle has you feeling pressed, let a few of these minty, mini morsels melt in your mouth — and they might just melt your stress away while they’re at it. From the same supplier that makes our everyday Meringues, our Mini Peppermint Meringues are crafted exclusively for us, using all the Meringue must-haves (namely, cane sugar and egg whites) and plenty of pinky-red peppermint candy pieces. Like any good meringue, they’re light as a feather and deliver an ideal balance of crunch and chew. And like anything featuring pieces of Peppermints, they’re a true taste of the season. Unlike most holiday treats, however, they’re pretty low-impact, calorically speaking — each serving of 11 Mini Meringues contains a mere 80 calories. Catapult yourself straight to the top of the Nice List when you gift a tub of gluten-free, kosher-certified Mini Peppermint Meringues to a friend or family member. Add them to a holiday “dessert board." Or just take some time to be nice to yourself and buy a tub for your desk drawer — you never know when you’ll need a quick, minty moment to chill."
