Directions

In a microwave oven or over boiling water, melt both kinds of chocolate.

Toast the almonds in a shallow pan in a moderate oven (350 degrees F) for about 10 minutes.

Beat egg whites with cream of tartar and salt until foamy white.

Gradually beat in 1/4 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until soft peaks form.
