Steps:
- In a bowl, beat egg whites, vanilla, cream of tartar and salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugars, beating until stiff peaks form. Fold in pecans. Grease the bottom and sides of a 9-in. pie plate, leaving top edge ungreased. Spread meringue onto the bottom and up the sides of prepared plate. Build up top edge. Bake at 350° for 20-30 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack., If chocolate stars are desired, melt chocolate chips. Transfer chocolate to a small heavy-duty resealable bag; cut a small hole in one corner of bag. On a waxed paper-lined baking sheet, pipe chocolate into star shapes. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes. When ready to serve, carefully remove stars with a metal spatula., For filling, in a heavy saucepan, combine candy bars, unsweetened chocolate and water. Cook and stir over low heat until melted. Pour into a large bowl; cool to room temperature. Stir in vanilla. Fold in whipped cream; pour into the crust.

Tips:
- Make sure your egg whites are at room temperature before you start whipping them. This will help them reach their full volume and give your meringues a light and airy texture.
- Use a clean glass or metal bowl for whipping the egg whites. Any grease or residue in the bowl can prevent the egg whites from whipping properly.
- Whip the egg whites gradually, starting on low speed and increasing the speed as the whites begin to foam. This will help prevent the whites from becoming over-beaten and grainy.
- Once the egg whites are stiff and glossy, add the sugar slowly, one tablespoon at a time. This will help prevent the meringue from becoming too grainy.
- Continue whipping the meringue until it is thick and glossy and holds stiff peaks. This will take about 5-7 minutes on medium speed.
- When you are ready to bake the meringues, preheat your oven to the lowest temperature possible (usually around 200°F). This will help the meringues to dry out slowly and prevent them from cracking.
- Bake the meringues for 1-2 hours, or until they are dry and crisp. The baking time will vary depending on the size of your meringues.
- Once the meringues are baked, turn off the oven and leave them in the oven to cool completely. This will help to prevent them from cracking.
Conclusion:
Chocolate-filled meringues are a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make perfect meringues every time. So next time you are looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try!
