Recipe in collection associated with this article: Sweet Bones
- It’s simple – just egg whites and sugar.
- But the result is crisp and airy, a lightly sweetened, fat-free foam that can be molded into spooky shapes just in time for Halloween.
- Bloodshot-looking meringue eyeballs, anyone? What about crooked or bloody fingers? Perhaps an entire skeleton?
- to shape you choose, meringues make a melt-in-your mouth addition to your back-to-basics, homemade Halloween.
- to the ghosts are cooled, children might enjoy drawing faces on the ghouls with melted chocolate, black icing or an edible marker. Or, they might try using icing to glue chocolate chips, silver sugar balls or other kinds of candy or sprinkles for eyes.
- Baking chocolate chips into the meringue gets mixed results. The chips sometimes pop out of the meringue mixture during the baking process. This gives the ghosts a zombie look instead of the cute and happy Casper-type face.
- to 2 the ghosts, hold the bag perpendicular to the parchment-lined baking sheet and apply even pressure, pumping the mixture until the mounds are about 2 inches tall.
- 1/4 the taste of egg whites and sugar alone doesn’t whet your appetite, add 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla, almond, coconut or lemon extract, folding it into the foamy mixture for a hint of flavor. (Double the amount for stronger flavor.)
- to might even be tempted to revisit the recipe in December – for snowmen.
