How to Make Dried Frog Pills

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a large bowl, whisk 2 large egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Gradually beat in 1 cup of granulated sugar, ensuring each addition is fully incorporated before adding more.
Sift in 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
Add 1 teaspoon of rum flavoring and a few drops of green food coloring. Mix until the color is evenly distributed.
Roll the mixture into pea-sized balls (approximately ½ inch in diameter).
Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper.
Bake for 45 minutes, or until the edges are slightly firm.
Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. (This will take approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour.)
Once fully cooled, the “frog pills” can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
