A delightful blend of treats and spooky tales.
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
- 2 large egg whites
- 2 drops fresh lemon juice, or more to taste
- 7 tablespoons white sugar, or more to taste
- 2 chocolate chips, melted, or as needed
Directions
- Step 1:Preheat oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with silicone baking mats.
- Step 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.
- Step 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.
- Step 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.
- Step 5:Dip the tip of a toothpick into melted chocolate and dot chocolate "eyes" on each of the ghosts.
