Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Ghost Meringues

Preheat your oven to 200°F (90°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.
Increase mixer speed to high and gradually add sugar, beating until stiff peaks form, about 5-7 minutes.
Gently fold in the vanilla extract using a spatula.
Transfer the meringue mixture into the piping bag and pipe ghost shapes onto the baking sheet.
Bake the meringues for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, then let them cool in the oven.
Melt the chocolate chips and use a toothpick to dab on little chocolate eyes.
Decorate with black frosting for spooky detailing.
Gently peel the meringues off the parchment paper and serve on a festive platter.
