3 egg whites, room temperature

1/2 cup superfine sugar

3/4 cup coarsely chopped Andes Mints

Preheat oven to 275^o.  Line cookie sheets with foil.

Beat egg whites until foamy.  Gradually beat in sugar, 1 Tbsp at a time and continue beating until peaks are very stiff and glossy.

Gently fold in the chopped candies.
