I believe there's a sweet tooth in us.  I'm more of a dark chocolate person.  However, recently, a french macaron treat was brought to the office in the form a gigantic cone of  pastel colors.  Despite the carb diet we were in, we, girls were immediately drawn to pick up a piece. 

The explosion of taste, sugar and buttercup filling was enough to keep us grabbing for more. It was addictive

and the rainbow of colors didn't help us curb our cravings either.

Perfect for tea parties, weddings, and afternoon coffee.  At first, the word 'macaroons' make me think of those small coconut chewy treats but remove one 'O' et voila!  It transforms into this delightful confection of various flavors from pistachio, caramel and my favorite chocolate filling that would ignite the Gourmande within us.

Bon Appetit!
