📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 200°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2
Add egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Begin mixing on low speed and gradually increase to high speed. When egg whites begin frothing up, slowly add sugar, one spoonful at a time. Beat in vanilla. Whip on high speed until mixture is glossy and can hold stiff peaks.

Transfer half of the meringue mixture to a piping bag with a round tip. Pipe three rows of four meringues about 1-2 inches apart on one baking sheet.
4
Add orange food coloring to the remaining meringue mixture and repeat, piping three rows of four on the second baking sheet.
5
Bake meringues for ⏱️ 1 hour. Turn off oven, and let baking sheets sit inside the closed oven for 1 more hour. Remove from oven, and cool completely.
6
To make the ghost meringues, attach googly eyes to white meringues with a small dab of melted white chocolate. To make the pumpkin meringues, use a black food coloring marker to draw eyes and a mouth.
