We love pale pink, yellow, and blue meringue kisses, especially when accented with rainbow nonpareils.
Here’s your complete guide for how to make rainbow meringue kisses.
It all starts with ourBasic Meringue recipe, which can be adapted to create any number of cute confections.
No need to add any extra flavors to your meringue: These kisses are all about the cute colors.

These meringues are bite-sized and utterly addictive.
Crisp and airy, these meringue kisses dissolve in your mouth.
It’s simply too easy to eat a lot of these.
Spread about 18 teaspoon of theBasic Meringueinto each corner of 2 unrimmed baking sheets.
Line each baking sheet with parchment paper; press into meringue to hold parchment in place.
Divide remainingBasic Meringueevenly into separate bowls, and stir different food coloring gels into each bowl.
Pipe small (about 1-inch) kisses evenly spaced at least 12 inch apart onto prepared baking sheets.
You should have about 160 meringues total.
If desired, decorate with nonpareils.
Bake in preheated oven until dry and no longer sticky, about 2 hours.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.
