For the best flavor, toast the pecans before adding them to the meringue. Spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant. Ensure your egg whites are at room temperature for maximum volume when whipping. Be careful not to overbake the meringue, as it can become dry and brittle. If you don't have Ritz crackers, you can substitute with other buttery crackers, but the flavor may vary slightly. Feel free to garnish with extra chopped pecans or a sprinkle of cocoa powder before serving.
