I made these candy floss meringues for a jewellery launch event that was themed like a funfair. The display here is made of polystyrene foam covered in paper.

You Will Need (5 things)

  • One Baking Tray , lined
  • 200g Chocolate of your choice, broken into pieces
  • Lollipop/cake pop Stick(s)
  • 1 batch of Basic Meringue s
  • Edible pink Lustre Spray

Steps (2 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. When the
    meringues are cool, use a stick to gently pierce the base of each one in the centre. Remove and dip the stick in chocolate up to about 2.5cm deep. Reinsert and hold in place for about 30 seconds, until it starts to set. If it feels steady you can transfer it to the fridge or a cool place to set completely.

  2. 2

    Remove from the fridge and spray the meringues all over with the lustre spray, if using.
