These little meringue ghosts are the perfect fun and easy treat for Halloween! The meringue is made with unrefined cane sugar and piped out into sweet ghost shapes. The ghosts can be shaped using a piping bag or by cutting the tip off a large ziplock bag. Then decorated with a bit of black icing gel, but melted and cooled dark chocolate would be a great healthy replacement. To make these refined sugar free I used natural cane sugar by Wholesome Sweeteners Natural Cane Sugar.
