I made these meringues out of egg whites saved for my Daring Baker French macarons. I had plenty saved because I was ready for failure, but that didn’t happen this time. I had a pretty easy macaron ride, thanks to Monsieur Lebovitz’s recipe, so I turned to GHOSTS! 
The son had a poetry week in school and they explored interesting forms of poetry including haiku, autobio, acoustic, CinQuain, limericks, etc. The students each made a little poem book with their creative thoughts. The poems made for interesting reading. Let me share his autobio with you which had mention of ‘ghosts’ so…

My little ghosts were meant to be white but they began to turn brown about 30 minutes into baking a 100C. Maybe an element issue with my poor old oven, but they tasted darned nice. The kids loved the crispy exteriors and slightly chewy interiors. I think they liked these creatures better than macs!
Meringue Ghosts for Halloween
adapted from Joy of Baking
2 egg whites (120 grams)
1/8 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 powdered vanilla sugar 
Method:
Preheat oven to 105C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Beat the egg whites on low-medium speed until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and continue to beat the whites until they hold soft peaks. Add the sugar, a little at a time, and continue to beat until the meringue holds very stiff peaks.
Spoon the meringue into a large self-sealing plastic bag. Use a sharp pair of scissors to snip 1/2 inch off from one corner of the bag to form a makeshift piping bag.
Hold the bag upright and squeeze the meringue, forming a wide base, a slightly smaller middle, and a curled top (almost as if you were piping a soft-serve ice-cream cone) to form a chubby, upright ghost shape.
Carefully press two candy eyes or two silver dragees or miniature chocolate chips into each meringue ghost.
Bake the meringues for approximately 1 1/4 – 1 1/2 hours or until they are dry and crisp to the touch and easily separate from the parchment paper. Turn off the oven, open the door, and leave the meringues in the oven to finish drying several hours, or even overnight.

Cute! Your boy is such a great volunteer
Your rebel looks so much like you. 
Cute kids.
The ghosts remind me of something though, which I will not mention here…but it's all the same for boys. I'm sure they'd love it if they saw what I saw! 
That is awesome. It's actually cute compared to the spiders. I love the dessert but not the spiders. You should be on the photo too.
Love your scary ghosts.
HAPPY halloween!
I love everything you've done for #GreatHallowTweet all week long, Deeba! You are so freaking creative – and these are quite the topper for the week!
Thanks so much for playing along! (And you said you didn't know if you could come up with anything. Hah!)
XXXOOOXXX

Gorgeous, as always! And your kids are adorable, too. Love the ghosties!
The meringue ghosts are adorable! Happy Halloween!
How fun! You are so incredibly creative and talented…the ghosts and your son are too adorable
Deeba – these are incredible treats.
And your son looks like a fun kid.
Hugs! – Shelley
These are darling! (And no doubt delicious.) Perhaps your ghosts are closer to the real thing…antiqued and all! I mean, aren't ghosts supposed to be vintage (as in "old"). So the browned effect works nicely. I have had a lot of fun with the GreatHallowTweet, too! Your beautiful flan should be up by now at TasteSpooking (aka TasteStopping). Cheers!
Best,
Casey
So cute! I love them.
What a cute post. That last meringue mouse looks a bit shocked to be caught by a camera.. hehe.
What a spooky and delightful post!!! Love the kids…really ugly make up and i'm sure he is handsome under all that. Sending Halloween Greetings from Montecito, California. best, s
Looks like your kids had a blast! Your meringue cookies look very cute.
Eee ghosties! See the browning is exactly why I didn't bake the meringue ghosts on top of the Halloween cake I made in class. Also I was in a hurry. I would love to have just the ghosts on their own though – so cute and I adore meringue.
These were so awesome! Love it!
Lovely cute ghosts and mice! I love meringue that's chewy inside.
Awww, cute pics of your kiddos! And what adorable ghosts!
I love those little mice with the pumpkin seed ears! Adorable!
So cute! The little ghost meringues remind me of Peeps marshmallows, but of course the meringues are cuter and probably taste much better.
Adorable little ghosts!
These are so cute. And I love your son's face.
Looks funny.Enjoyed visiting your blog!:)
