Ingredients

  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • red food coloring optional (to give your “bones” blood drops)

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high until stiff peaks form.
  • Place mixture in a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag, cut off a small corner of bag (you can also use a pastry bag with a round decorating tip)
  • On parchment-lined baking sheet, pipe meringue into a 3-inch log, pipe two 1-balls on opposite sides of each end of the log. Repeat with remaining meringue.
  • Bake at 225º for 1 1/2 hours or until firm. Remove to wire racks.
  • Drop droplets of red food coloring on bones to represent blood.
  • Store in an airtight container
