Ingredients

  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar

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>
