Who knew Sprinkle Lips were a thing?

I did a ‘Lip Sprinkle’ net search so I could provide you with a link to the sprinkles I used on the meringues. The result pages were full of sprinkle adorned lips and tutorials to get the look.

I’m thinking I need to sprinkle up my mouth and see if my kids notice.

Or, do this third eye thing.

I also came across a step by step web page on how to give a hickey when I searched ‘Love Bite’, but I’ll spare you that.

All this started with a recipe I found for Skittles Meringues.

My boys love Skittles, so I thought it would be fun recipe to make. I was skeptical about what a baked Skittle would taste like so, given that Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, I decided to top half of the meringues with some Valentine-themed sprinkles.

Here are some of the Skittle Meringues.

The meringue itself is pure, light and airy perfection. The baked Skittles were pretty much the same as eating them right out of the bag, but I didn’t like the chewy contrast alongside the sweet crispness of the meringue.

The sprinkled meringues, though, are a complete delight with their pretty colors and delicate crunch.

Love Bite Meringues

Here is a brand new video from one of my first internet friends, the very funny and talented, Tim Young. Hilarious song.
