Surprise Kisses

4 egg whites
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 pkg semisweet cholocate pieces
1 cup chopped walnuts (or nuts of your choice)
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Beat egg whites and salt until frothy. Beat in cream of tartar, adding 2 T of sugar at a time, beating well after each addition, until stiff peaks form. Fold in chocolate pieces, nuts and vanilla extract.
Drop by teaspoon full on ungreased, paper lined cookie sheet, 1/2" apart. If you have a teflon sheet, use this in place of the paper lining.
Bake at 325 degrees. Remove when still warm onto cooling racks.
Enjoy!
This is one of the family favorites baked by my mother.
