Add 1/4 tsp cream of tartar, 1/8 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp vanilla to enhance the flavor. Dusting baked 'bones' with XXX sugar is a good idea!

Although these were really easy to make and a very fitting Halloween item, neither of my kids liked them and my husband didn't either. Is there anyway some flavoring could be added? Sorry. They did look great though--love the idea.

Really good creepy fun and easy to make! I took these to my sons classroom and they all loved them. I used broken nuts in the first batch. 2nd batch, after baking I dipped in barely melted white frosting & put them in the fridge to set. They were displayed on a plate mounded with oreo cookie crumbs (for graveyard dirt) and also buried a few plastic orange & black spiders. Thanks!

I know that it is not haloween (nor do we celebrate it), but this recipe has lot of potential. I make vmeringues often and always in the form of a kiss cookie. This gave me a great idea and this time I made them into the shape of hearts and added 1 drop of pink food coloring to the mix. This was really pretty and easy and my kids thought that they were really neat. Now I am thinking of other great shapes and colors.
