Make sure there are no yolks in the bowl of whites. Rapidly beat the eggs until they form stiff peaks. Slowly stir spoonfuls of sugar into the whites and continue to beat until the entire cup of sugar has been added. the whites should now form stiff, shiny peaks. Add tow to three drops of red food coloring. Place a sheet of parchment paper on a cookie sheet. To form tongues: Spoon about 3 tablespoons of meringue in the shape of a

Assorted small candies
In a medium bowl stir together marshmallows, peanuts, candy corn and chocolate pieces. Set mixture aside.
Place ice cream cones on the wax paper-lined baking sheet. Spread outside of cones with melted chocolate or vanilla coating. If desired, sprinkle small candies on the cone before the coating dries completely.* Let coating dry. Turn cones upside down and fill with about 2 tablespoons of the marshmallow mixture. Place the cones upside down inside a mug and brush a generous amount of melted chocolate or vanilla coating along the bottom edge of the cone. Press a cookie against the coating and let dry. Carefully turn the cone right side up onto the wax-paper-lined baking sheet.
*If desired, leave some cones plain and decorate after filling. Decorate the outside of the plain cones with small candies, using the melted coating to stick the candies onto the cone.
Sicko serving suggestion: To serve coated tongues, use a toothpick to spread a thin layer of mucus (marshmallow topping) down the length of the lickers.
