Oo lala, French Macarons

Chocolate and Lemon French Macarons

Macarons are chic, delicious french treats. They come in a variety of flavors, colors and fillings, having thin crunchy exterior and a soft middle. These petite treats are picture perfect and make lovely tea party treats or gifts. Yet before making these I'd never had a macaron before. I was delighted by there light flavoring and dainty size. I was also thrilled by how they turned out. Recipes time and time again prepared me for them to come out flat or misshapen, but mine turned out beautiful! This time I made two flavors, lemon with a lemon curd filling and chocolate with nutella spread filling. They tasted wonderful. I'm excited to continue baking macarons in all flavors and fillings. Maybe salted carmel next? We'll see! Well I hope you love them as much as me!
