Steps:
- Place oven racks in upper and lower third of oven. Heat oven to 250°F. Line 2 large cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper.
- In food processor, place raspberries; cover and process until finely ground. Remove 1 teaspoon for decoration; set aside.
- In large bowl, beat egg whites, cream of tartar and vanilla with electric mixer on high speed until foamy. Beat in sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time; continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form and sugar is almost dissolved, 5 to 8 minutes, scraping side of bowl occasionally. Do not underbeat. Add remaining ground raspberries and food color; beat at high speed to blend. Fold 1 cup miniature chocolate chips into mixture.
- Fit large decorating bag with large round piping tip. Spoon half of the mixture into bag. Pipe 1 1/2-inch high with 1 1/2-inch base mounds 1 inch apart on cookie sheet. Repeat filling decorating bag and piping with remaining meringue mixture.
- Place both cookie sheets in oven. Bake 15 minutes. Rotate pans to different racks and turn from front to back. Bake 15 minutes more. Turn off oven; leave meringues in oven with door closed 30 minutes. Remove from oven. Sprinkle over tops of meringues the remaining 1 teaspoon ground raspberries. Place pans on cooling racks; continue to cool at room temperature, about 2 hours. Remove from parchment paper; place meringues on cookie sheets that have been lined with new cooking parchment paper.
- In small microwavable bowl, microwave 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips and shortening uncovered on High 60 seconds. Stir, continue to microwave in 15-second increments until mixture can be stirred smooth. Working with one meringue at a time, dip bottom into melted chocolate. Slide bottom of meringue on edge of bowl to remove excess. Return to lined cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining meringues. Let stand about 3 hours or until chocolate is set. Store covered in airtight container in single layer.
