Vanilla Meringues

"Do you feel like you have your head in the clouds? Well, if your head is up there, then your mouth must be up there, too. What better morsel to meet you in such a heavenly status, than that divinely classic cloud-like delicacy known as Trader Joe’s Vanilla Meringues? Although it’s hard to believe, these fluffy fantasies aren’t exactly from heaven. They actually come to us from a bakery in San Marcos, California. They are carefully crafted by beating together egg whites, causing the proteins to unfold and recombine into a new structure around air bubbles and sugar. The result is a light, fluffy indulgence with a simple sweetness, and an alluring vanilla aroma.

Now, here’s how the cookie crumbles: Take a bite and crunch, crunch, crunch... then comes the melt in your mouth miracle. Clearly, their cloud-like wonderment extends to the nutrition facts, as our Meringues are gluten free, kosher (dairy), and fat free. Enjoy these, delicately, with a warm cup of tea or dipped in melted-down chocolate chips or chunks. We’re aware that one might say we have our head in the clouds. So be it."
