Meringue Bunnies

2 egg whites
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup pink candy coating disks
36 heart-shaped red decorating sprinkles

In a mixing bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed until soft peaks form.

Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high until stiff peaks form. Transfer to a pastry or plastic bag; cut a small hole in a corner of the bag.

On parchment-lined baking sheets, pipe the meringue into 4-3/4-in. bunny shapes. Bake at 225° for 1-1/2 hours or until firm. Remove to wire racks.

In a microwave, melt candy coating; stir until smooth. Place in a pastry or plastic bag. Pipe ears, whiskers and mouths on bunnies. Attach hearts for eyes and nose with melted candy coating. Makes 1 dozen.
