Easy Skeleton Bone Meringues Recipe

These meringues are made with egg whites and sugar, whipped to perfection and piped into bone shapes. They take about 1 hour to prepare and bake, making them a quick and enjoyable Halloween treat.

Ingredients

3 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
Edible black food coloring (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whip Egg Whites: In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed until soft peaks form.
Add Sugar: Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat on high speed until stiff peaks form and the mixture is glossy.
Flavor the Meringue: Mix in the vanilla extract and almond extract if using. If you want colored meringues, add a few drops of black food coloring and gently fold until combined.
Pipe the Bones: Transfer the meringue to a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe bone shapes onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure to create a thicker middle and thinner ends.
Bake: Bake the meringues in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until they are dry and can easily lift off the parchment paper. Turn off the oven and let them cool completely inside.
Serve: Once cooled, serve the Skeleton Bone Meringues on a spooky platter for your Halloween festivities.
