Ghost Meringues
(makes 12 ghosts)
3 large egg whites, at room temperature1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) cream of tartar3/4 cup (188 g) one-to-one sugar substitute, such as Louis Sherry One Spoon Sugar Replacement1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) pure vanilla extract24 dried currants
Preheat oven to 200°F (130°C).
Line two large, heavy baking sheets with parchment paper.
Combine egg whites and cream of tartar in a clean, grease-free mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar substitute, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) every 30 seconds until meringue holds very stiff peaks. Beat in vanilla.
Spoon meringue into a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch (1.25 cm) plain tip or spoon into a gallon-size (1 l-size) heavy plastic food bag, then cut off 1 corner to make a 1/2-inch (1.25 cm) wide opening.
Pipe meringue onto prepared baking sheets into ghost shapes, about 3 inches (3.75 cm) wide and 5 inches (6.25 cm) high. Space ghosts about 2 inches (2.5 cm) apart. Press 2 currants into each ghost to form the eyes.
Bake until meringues begin to turn pale gold and are firm to the touch, about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, switching baking sheet positions half way through the baking time. Turn off oven and leave meringues in closed oven for 2 hours. Cool slightly. When just barely warm, slip each ghost into a plastic sandwich bag and tie tops with pieces of orange and black ribbons

Not really Halloween, but more Harvest. I always make applesauce with the kids. If it is a large class I split them up. *group for washing *group for peeling *group for cutting *group for taking the seeds out *group for chopping into chunks *group for putting in the pot with water and sugar... ---I do not always put the cinnamon in it--- You will need 6 medium apples* 1 cup water ½ cup sugar 1 tsp lemon juice 1 cinnamon stick *Note: Certain types of apples like Red Delicious do not make very good applesauce. For the best applesauce use a combination of apples that are both tart and sweet. Sweet apples that are delicious in applesauce include Golden Delicious and Gravenstein. Tart varieties include Granny Smith, Jonathan, and Newtown Pippin. Directions 1. Peel and core all of the apples. If you have an apple corer peeler children can help turn the handle. If not a parent will need to do this part using a knife. 2. Cut the apple into slices and place them in a large saucepan. Add the rest of the ingredients. 3. Bring the apple mixture to a boil. Once it is boiling cover the pan and turn down the heat on the stove to low. Let the mixture simmer for about 20-30 minutes or until the apples are soft. 4. Remove the cinnamon stick then mash the apples. For a chunkier applesauce use a potato masher to mash the apples. If you want your applesauce smoother use an electric mixer or food grinder to mash them. 5. Once mashed place the applesauce in the refrigerator to cool. When it is cool you can put it in the freezer and freeze for up to a year or bottle it using a canner. Recipe makes about 3 cups of homemade applesauce.

Cookies, cupcakes, pie...
Yeah... Just let them use their imagination....
Let them decorate the cookies, and let them help mix.
Kids might make messes, but they enjoy being independent too!
And they love to help, and know that they accomplished something.
I hope they have fun making stuff for Halloween!
Good luck!
