Spooky Meringue Treats

Preheat your oven to 225 degrees Fahrenheit (110 degrees Celsius).

Prepare two baking sheets by lining them with silicone mats to ensure easy removal of the meringue creations.

In a bowl, combine egg whites and lemon juice, whisking them together until they become thick, white, and frothy. Gradually add sugar a small amount at a time, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Continue this process until the meringue achieves a shiny, thick, and stable consistency.

Transfer the prepared meringue to a piping bag for easy manipulation. Pipe 12 bone shapes onto one baking sheet and 12 ghostly puffs onto the other.

Place these meringue masterpieces in a preheated oven and bake until they are dry, firm, and no longer sticky. This process should take approximately 1 hour.

Once the meringues have dried, turn off the oven and allow it to cool completely. This may take an additional 1 hour.

Finally, melt some chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or over low heat on the stovetop. Dip the tip of a toothpick into the melted chocolate and use it to create eye-like dots on each ghostly puff.
