OK, my DH liked the bars and so did his mom so I guess it's just me who doesn't like them.

I don't know if you ever found what you was looking for, but this recipe turned out to be a winner for me! I can't remember where I got it, but the meringues turn out a bit "chewy" and not hard as they usually do. I used sugar free gelatin to cut back on the sugar and nobody ever knew!

Raspberry Meringue Kisses

3 egg whites
1/8 -teaspoon salt
3-1/2 tablespoons raspberry gelatin
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vinegar (sets the color)
1 cup mini chocolate bits

Beat egg whites with salt until foamy. Add raspberry gelatin and sugar
gradually; beat until stiff peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Mix in vinegar;
fold in chocolate bits.
Drop from teaspoon onto ungreased cookie sheets that have been covered with
brown paper. (I use clean brown grocery bags that I cut to fit cookie sheets. I
keep the printed side down). Bake at 250 degrees 25 minutes.. Turn oven off;
leave cookies in oven 20 minutes longer.
