INGREDIENTS

• 4 large egg whites
• 1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries, chopped
• 3 oz. Baker's Unsweetened Chocolate, finely chopped

DIRECTIONS

• Preheat oven to 200°F. Cover large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Beat egg whites and cream of tartar in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed 5 minutes or until soft peaks form. Gradually add granulated sugar, beating on high speed until well blended. Add powdered sugar, 1 Tbsp. at a time, beating well after each addition. (Meringue will begin to turn glossy.) Continue beating until stiff peaks form. Stir in cranberries and chocolate. Spread onto prepared baking sheet to within 1/2 inch of edges of baking sheet.
• Bake 2 hours. Turn oven off. Let meringue stand in oven for 2 to 2-1/2 hours or until meringue is cooled and completely dried. Cut or break into 24 pieces.
