Eggology Egg White Recipe of the Day: Starbucks Chocolate Meringue Drops

Eggology egg whites were featured in a recipe on an interesting blog. It's all about "Top Secret Restaurant Recipes" and features supposedly top secret recipes from lots of famous restaurants and stores. We can't vouch for whether or not this is the actual recipe that Starbucks uses for their chocolate meringue drops, but we like that they suggest using Eggology egg whites to make them! Eggology egg whites are naturally sweetened and would enhance any meringue recipe - top secret or not!
