Ingredients Needed

How To Make Scary Simple Meringue Bones
- Step One: Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Place brown paper bags or parchment paper on cookie sheets to line it.
- Step Two: Use an Egg Separator for three large eggs and put the yolks aside.
- Step Three: Using a medium bowl beat the egg whites, ¼ teaspoon of cream of tartar, and ⅙ teaspoon of salt at high speed until the mixture is fluffy.
- Step Four: Add ⅔ cup of sugar slowly and then add ½ teaspoon of vanilla to the mixture and beat for another minute to incorporate it.
- Step Five: Place the mixture in a piping bag or large plastic bag. Add a plain piping tip to the bag or simply snip off a tiny corner. Pipe out as many three-inch bone shapes onto paper as you can.
- Step Six: Bake these ‘bones’ for one hour. Turn off the oven and allow the ‘bones’ to continue drying in the oven for an additional hour.
- Step Seven: When they have finished drying, place them in an air-tight container to keep them from becoming soggy. This will make about four to five dozen ‘bones.’
How to Store
Once cooled, transfer meringue bones to an airtight container and keep them stored. They should say fresh for 3-4 days.
