Chocolate-Dipped Strawberry Meringue Roses
Eat these pretty treats as is or crush them into a bowl of strawberries and whipped cream. Readers of my blog, utry.it, went nuts when I posted that idea.—Amy Tong, Anaheim, California

yesssssssss
I tried these yesterday and they came out like the photo--start from the middle and work your way out, but they were too sickly sweet for our family. Spooning the chocolate on the bottom worked much better than dipping the bottoms into the chocolate.
Followed the recipe exactly but mine came out crunchy and chewy and I don't know what I did wrong but they do not look like the picture :(
These look quite impressive, but they are very easy to make. Although I have a small bowl for my processor, the amount of sugar and strawberries is quite small and so it was difficult to get the strawberries totally powdered, but the very small pieces were just fine. I make a lot of meringue cookies, so I used 2 tsp. meringue powder and 2 tbsp. water for each egg white. For the second batch I made, I used strawberry extract instead of vanilla; both were fine.

Recipe made more than stated but mine may of been smaller. Everyone liked them. They were pretty to look at. I used the flower tip that I had. I spooned chocolate on back of cookie and left chocolate side up to dry. They were a light and tasty treat for everyone to enjoy.Other flavors of fruit that can be used are: dried apple, berry, or tropical fruits. By changing and using other flavor jell-o this dessert could be made to taste different
