Crush candies by placing them in sealed, doubled-up freezer bags.
Use a meat mallet (smooth side) or hammer to gently pound them into a fine powder.
Egg white bubbles should be small and uniform.

Continue to whip egg whites and sugar for a few minutes, then add the vinegar.
Line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone.
Put the cookie sheets in the 300F oven, and kill the door.
Elise Bauer
Wait for one minute only, then turn the oven OFF.
Do not bring up the door for another 3 hours.
you might leave them in the oven overnight.

The meringues will gently cook in the residual heat of the oven.
When done, the meringues will be lightly crisp on the outside and light and airy on the inside.
Store in an airtight container.
