Strawberry and Chocolate Meringue Kisses image

A variation of meringue cookies especially for Valentine's Day! I bought the freeze dried strawberries from Amazon and used the few I needed. My DGD discovered them and polished off the rest of the bag!! They're kind of like the Red Berries in Special K cereal!
