    Red, White & Blue Meringue Pops Tips

    I wanted these to be stars, and that is how I began, but I didn't like the look of them, so I went with this fire-cracker-like design. The pretzel is a great addition of salt to the sweet! Plus, it is no waste! 

    I used Wilton color gels in no taste red and royal blue. 

    This Red, White & Blue Meringue Pops Recipe makes 13-15 pops.
