Spooky Ghost Meringue Treats

These meringues are made with just a few ingredients and are piped into ghost shapes, then decorated with chocolate chips for eyes. They are light, sweet, and a perfect Halloween recipe that adds a festive touch to any gathering.

Ingredients

4 large egg whites
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips for eyes

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whip the Egg Whites: In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and continue beating until soft peaks form.
Add Sugar Gradually: Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat until the mixture is glossy and stiff peaks form. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Pipe the Meringues: Transfer the meringue mixture into a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe ghost shapes onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave space between each one.
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 1.5 hours, or until the meringues are dry and can easily lift off the parchment paper. Turn off the oven and let the meringues cool completely inside.
Decorate: Once cooled, use melted chocolate to attach chocolate chips as eyes on each meringue.
