These would make ideal sweets to serve at a party or to hungry trick-or-treaters. The trick to making the meringues a swirled color isn't in applying the color to the cookie batter, but instead adding it to the pipping bag. The fluffy meringue mixture made from egg whites, sugar and water are poured into a bag that has been lined with three stripes of black food coloring along the perimeter. This way when the mixture is pipped the black will automatically swirl inside. The end result is these dainty Beetle Juice-inspired [black and white meringues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gourmet-halloweenthemed-chocolates) that are elegantly upscale. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Swirled Color Palettes:** Exploring creative ways to incorporate swirls of color into various food products, creating visually appealing and unique experiences for consumers. - **Fool-proof Baking Recipes:** Developing simple and easy-to-follow recipes that require minimal time and effort, catering to busy individuals who still want to enjoy homemade treats. - **Elegant Halloween Sweets:** Designing sophisticated and upscale Halloween-themed desserts, offering a luxurious twist to traditional holiday treats. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** Innovating new techniques and ingredients for creating visually striking and delicious food products. - **Baking and Pastry:** Integrating new decorating methods and concepts into the world of baking and pastry arts, allowing for more creative and artistic expressions. - **Event Planning:** Providing unique and visually captivating sweets for special occasions, enhancing the overall aesthetic and experience of events. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Halloween-Inspired Cupcake Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supernatural-kitchen.md) - [Autumnal Arachnid Baking Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/funfetti-spiderweb-swirl-brownie-mix.md) - [Vibrant Halloween-Themed Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keebler-spookie-fudge-stripes-cookies.md) - [CBD-Infused Meringue Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-sheep-cbd-meringue-cookies.md) - [Halloween-Hued Sandwich Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orangecolored-creme-oreo.md) - [Floral Meringue Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rosewater-meringue-cookies.md) - [Seasonally Spooky Shortbread Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcghees-halloween-empire-biscuits.md) - [Witchy Ready-to-Bake Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wickedinspired-pillsbury-shape-cookies.md) - [DIY Monster Pops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monster-pops.md)
