I make these edible "bones" during the Halloween season for my children. It's inevitable that kids are going to eat candy on Halloween, so I try to provide them fun snacks prior to the holiday that keep with the Halloween theme, but are free of preservatives and artificial colors and flavors. I feel they will get enough of that stuff on October 31st.

Place in pastry bag fitted with a medium plain piping tip. Pipe 3" bone shapes onto parchment or brown paper bag. Bake 1 hour until set. Turn off oven, dry in oven 1 hour. Sprinkle cocoa on top to resemble "dirt". Be sure to store in airtight containers or they will become soggy. Makes 4 to 5 dozen small finger-sized bones.
