Instructions
- Add the room-temperature egg whites to the bowl of a stand mixer or a large bowl if using a hand-held electric mixer.

- Carefully insert a lollipop stick into each meringue circle. Add sprinkles on top immediately for decoration.
- Bake the meringue lollipops in a low-temperature oven (about 200°F or 90°C) for 60 minutes, then turn off the oven and leave the meringues inside for an additional 120 minutes.
