Give your party guests, friends and neighbors a chuckle when you hand them this clever Ghost Poop Treat Bag. We’ve made homemade meringue cookies so we could add the swirl at the top to up the icky factor – but mini marshmallows work well too. All you need are clear bags, meringue cookies or marshmallows and card stock to print the bag topper for hilarious Halloween treat!

Ingredients

1. Meringue Cookies
   • 1 cup egg whites (about 8) without any traces of yolk
   • 2 cups Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
   • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Supplies

• cardstock
• scissors
• clear bags
• stapler
• meringue cookies (recipe below) or mini marshmallows

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 210°F.
2. Place egg whites in a medium mixing bowl. Beat egg whites with a stand mixer on high speed for about 1 minute.
3. Continue to beat while gradually adding sugar, salt and vanilla. Beat until egg whites are stiff and glossy. Do not underbeat.
4. Using a spoon drop the meringue in generous 2 tablespoon amounts on parchment lined cookies sheets.
5. Place in oven and bake until meringue is thoroughly crisp, about 45-60 minutes depending on how big meringues are. Turn oven off and leave the meringues in oven with the door closed for 1 hour. Breaking a baked meringue in half will help with determining doneness. When broken in half interior should become dry and non-sticky within a minute.
6. While meringue is cooling, print the treat bag toppers, cut out and fold where indicated.
7. Once meringue cookies are completely cooled, add to bag and staple topper along the top. Make sure the bag is airtight to prevent meringue from becoming soggy.
