Recipes Desserts Cookies Meringue Cookies Meringue Bones and Ghosts 4.8 (26) 16 Reviews 10 Photos 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. By Chef John Updated on November 1, 2022 Save Saved!

Line 2 baking sheets with silicone baking mats. 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. 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. 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. Dip the tip of a toothpick into melted chocolate and dot chocolate "eyes" on each of the ghosts. Chef John Cook's Notes: You can use 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar in place of the lemon juice, if desired. You can use any type of melted chocolate instead of the semisweet chocolate chips, if desired.
