at what point do you add the flavoring? After the sugar?
Very easy, but do NOT get even a speck of yolk in the bowl or it will not thicken. I had to start over. Second time was great. Good flavor and easy to shape into bones.

These were very easy to make, and it was my first time making a meringue. They were easy to pipe and came right off the parchment paper after they cooled. I liked the melt-in-your-mouth texture, but thought the flavor was a little plain. Next time I will add some peppermint flavor for Christmas. The possibilities are endless!

Oops, "smooting" should be "smoothing."
These were fun to make and share. Like another person said, my "batter" was like marshmallow creme, but baked up fine. I did have issues with Dairy Queen type curls where I stopped squeezing the bag, but they clipped off easily when baked. Next time I'll work more at smooting the surface before baking, since the "batter" holds its shape well. I can envision many possibilities for this recipe!

These were delish but I found when I tried to remove the bones from the parchment paper, the majority of them broke. Very tasty though!!

I took these over to a party last week and decorated the dish with black jujubes. They lasted exactly 5 minutes. Will definitely make them again.

Really easy. Really sticky too! I doubled the recipe since I was already making a mess. Will be trying again, and making other shapes for the upcoming holidays!

I doubled the recipe thinking it was not going to be enough...no need! I have some meringue ghosts too! I think I will use a little peppermint extract next time as previously suggested.

<p>This recipe is great, easy, minimal ingredients, and quick to do (just long baking time). I must say that you have to make sure the eggs and tartar whip up BEFORE adding any sugar (I added it too quickly the first time and had to dump it and start over). I might reduce some of the sugar next time. My meringue seemed like it had some sugar crystals that didn't dissolve and thus some of my bones and other shapes weren't as smooth. Also, my meringue didn't form *stiff peaks* like the recipe said. It came out more like a homemade marshmallow (before it sets) consistency. Kind of like melted marshmallows. There weren't *peaks* per se, but it had thickened and may have held that form if it hadn't been so stringy. Mine turned out very yummy! You can make all kinds of shapes with this, not just bones. I piped a cat, ghost, spiderweb, and other Halloween shapes. So fun and easy!</p>
