4 oz. sweet cooking chocolate, melted and cooled
1/4 cup finely chopped nuts, walnuts or pecans
4 eggs, separated

Combine the chocolate and nuts, then set aside. Beat the egg whites and salt with an electric mixer at high speed until stiff but not dry. Set aside. Beat the egg yolks until thick and lemon colored, then stir in the chocolate-nut mixture. Fold into the whites until very well blended.
