MERINGUE TORTE WITH PEPPERMINT CREAM
The mother of my brother-in-law, Bill, often made this melt-in-your-mouth torte. A few years after she passed away, I surprised him by serving it at Christmas. He was delighted.-Christine Venzon, Peoria, Illinois

Remove from oven; cool on baking sheets. When cooled completely, remove meringues from paper., In a microwave, melt chocolate and shortening; stir until smooth. Spread a third of the chocolate mixture over each meringue. In a large bowl, beat cream until stiff peaks form; fold in peppermint candies., Place a chocolate-covered meringue on a serving plate; top with a third of the peppermint cream. Repeat layers twice.
