Chocolate Nut Meringues

1. 1

   beat egg whites until stiff peaks form in a glass or aluminum bowl.

2. 2

   fold in sugar and cocoa, mixing well.

3. 3

   fold in nuts (if using them).

4. 4

   using a spoon and a spatula place ~2 T lumps of the batter on an un-greased baking sheet. This is key--there must be no fat that touches the batter or else the meringues will collapse.

5. 5

   bake at 200F for several hours (welcome suggestions on temp and time). I usually bake them for 2+ hours and then let them sit in the oven for several more hours until the insides are not gooey.
