Ingredients You'll Need:

• Egg Whites: 3 large
• Granulated Sugar: 3/4 cup
• Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon
• Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
• Food Coloring: Assorted colors
• Sprinkles or Edible Glitter: For decorating
• Lollipop Sticks: For creating the pops

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Meringue: In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, vanilla extract, and salt, and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
3. Add Color: Divide the meringue into separate bowls and add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl. Gently fold the food coloring into the meringue, being careful not to overmix.
4. Pipe the Meringue: Fit a piping bag with a large star tip and fill it with the colored meringue. Pipe swirls of meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each swirl for the lollipop sticks.
5. Add Sticks: Carefully insert a lollipop stick into the base of each meringue swirl, making sure it's secure but not poking through the top.
6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the meringue pops for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until they are dry and crisp to the touch.
7. Decorate: Once the meringue pops are completely cool, you can decorate them with sprinkles or edible glitter for an extra touch of fun and color.
