Meringue Birch Twigs

Well, It looks like a storm hit these

Meringue Birch Twigs.

Very simple to make

Mix up egg whites with 

sugar and vanilla

then pipe in

somewhat

straight lines,

and bake for an hour.

Let cool

and drizzle

with melted chocolate.

Try and remove without cracking

the delicate twigs.

These are similar to eating 

cotton candy

which is to say,

it's almost like eating air.

They were fun to make

and

underscored once again

I have zero patience for piping

which may have to do

with zero skills.
