Heath Torte Cake

Ingredients:
6 egg whites
2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
Dash of salt
2 c. sugar
6 Heath bars, crushed
Dash of salt
1 pt. whipping cream


Directions:
Beat egg whites at room temperature.  Add vanilla, cream of tartar and salt.  Beat until stiff peaks form.  Gradually add sugar and beat until stiff.  Cover 2 cookie sheets with plain ungreased brown paper (shopping bags).  Draw a 9 inch circle on each and spread meringue evenly in the circles.  Bake 1 hour in a 275 degree oven.  Turn off heat and let dry in the oven for 2 hours with the door closed.  Longer time gives better results.  Fold crushed Heath bars and salt in whipping cream.  Spread 1/3 of the mixture between layers of meringue and frost top and sides with remainder.  Chill overnight.  Save some Heath bars to sprinkle on top of the torte.
