Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the egg whites on medium speed with the whisk attachment until the whites become foamy. Add the cream of tartar and turn up the speed to medium, beating until just fluffy. Add the sugar gradually, while whisking, so it incorporates into the whites slowly without collapsing them. Once all the sugar has been added, add the vanilla and increase the speed to high, whisking until the meringue is firm and glossy, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Place the meringue into a piping bag with a medium-size round tip attached. Pipe 48 bite-size tear-drop-shaped meringues onto the sheets and place in the oven. Bake for 1 hour undisturbed, and then turn off the heat and leave in the oven overnight to really dry out.
- Melt the chocolate over a double-boiler or in the microwave on medium power for 30 seconds. Holding each meringue by the peak, dip the bases in chocolate so the bottom half of the meringue is coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Allow to set at room temperature; do not put in the fridge. Once set, store in an airtight container.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. This will make a big difference in the taste of your snowdrops. Look for chocolate that has a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Temper your chocolate. This will help to give your snowdrops a smooth, shiny finish. To temper chocolate, melt it slowly and then cool it down quickly.
- Use a piping bag to fill the snowdrop molds. This will help you to create neat and evenly shaped snowdrops.
- Chill the snowdrops before serving. This will help them to set and firm up.
- Garnish the snowdrops with a dusting of powdered sugar or cocoa powder. This will add a touch of elegance and sweetness.
- If you don't have snowdrop molds, you can use a spoon to shape the chocolate into small balls. Just make sure to flatten them slightly before dipping them in the melted chocolate.
- Get creative with your fillings. You can use anything from nuts and dried fruits to ganache and caramel.
- Have fun! Making snowdrops is a great way to get creative and enjoy the holiday season.
