Meringue Bones and Ghosts

Servings:

While I know no one is ever actually scared by spooky Halloween treats, I do know for a fact that many people are terrified to work with meringue. Hopefully these bones and ghosts will help chase those demons away.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with silicone baking mats.
  2. 2 Whisk eggs whites and lemon juice together in a bowl until thick, white, and foamy. Add sugar a spoonful at a time, whisking constantly, until meringue is shiny, thick, and holds its shape.
  3. 3 Transfer meringue to a piping bag. Pipe 12 bone shapes onto a prepared baking sheet. Pipe 12 puffs to resemble ghosts onto the remaining baking sheet.
  4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven until dried and firm, about 1 hour. Turn off the oven, close the door, and cool until completely dried, about 1 hour more.
  5. 5 Dip the tip of a toothpick into melted chocolate and dot chocolate "eyes" on each of the ghosts.
