  • 1 large , Ehh White
  • 1 pinch , Cream Of Tartar
  • 1 pinch , Salt

Instructions:
Icing: In top of double boiler over boiling water, combine sugar, water, egg white, cream of tartar and salt. With electric mixer, beat at high speed for 7 minutes, or until stiff glossy peaks form. Fold in 1/2 tsp. vanilla. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour, or until thickened. Makes 2 cups.

Ghosts: In Saucepan, melt butter over medium heat, stir in marshmallows until smooth. Stir in 1 tsp. vanilla. Scrape into large bowl, stir in cereal until coated.
