4 large egg whites the base of your meringue, creating that fluffy texture.
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar helps stabilize the egg whites for perfect peaks.
1 cup granulated sugar sweetens the meringue and creates its lovely glossy finish.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract adds a warm flavor to complement the sweetness.
½ teaspoon almond extract optional, for a delicious nutty twist to the flavor.

mini chocolate chips perfect for creating adorable eyes on your snowy friends.
orange candy adds a fun touch as the snowmen's noses!
mini marshmallows great for buttons and whimsical hats on top.
colored sprinkles or edible glitter sprinkle on for that festive, magical flair.

Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Beat the egg whites on medium speed until foamy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Add cream of tartar and continue mixing until soft peaks form, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Gradually add sugar, one tablespoon at a time, mixing on high until stiff peaks form, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Mix in vanilla and almond extract until just combined.
Transfer meringue into a piping bag fitted with a large round tip.
Pipe circles for the snowmen bodies and heads, and additional small circles for hats if desired.
Bake for about 2 hours or until completely dry.
Cool in the oven for an additional hour after baking.
Gently remove meringues from the parchment paper using a spatula.
Assemble snowmen by stacking heads on bodies.
Decorate with chocolate chips for eyes and orange candy for noses.
Add mini marshmallows as buttons and hats.
Sprinkle with colored sprinkles or edible glitter for a festive look.
Arrange on a platter and serve to enjoy!
