These were a disaster! The meringue shells were too crispy and the chocolate filling was too runny.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my meringue shells turned out flat and chewy. The chocolate filling was good, though.

I had some trouble getting the meringue shells to hold their shape, but once I got the hang of it, they turned out great. The chocolate filling was perfect. I will definitely be making these again.

These were a disaster! The meringue shells were too crispy and the chocolate filling was too runny. I don't think I'll be making these again.

These were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the meringue next time.
