Linda and I celebrated Christmas early so that we wouldn't have to bring our gifts all the way with us to AZ (especially since we're bringing gifts for 9 nieces and nephews!)
This was one of my favorite gifts that she gave me. These are macarons from Michel Patisserie. Definitely awesome desserts. If you haven't had a french macaron (NOT the same as a coconut macaroon btw), you should try one.
The box she got me had espresso, chocolate, raspberry, vanilla, mint, almond, strawberry, and peanut butter and jelly (yes, PB&J FTW!) among others. We're finishing the rest off today because they only have a shelf life of about 3 days. I just wish they weren't so expensive. These little mini hamburger looking things cost about $2 if purchased individually because how labor intensive they are.
On second thought, maybe you should just look at my pic and imagine how good they are instead of actually trying one. You might get addicted...
My wife's the best for giving me an extremely thoughtful gift. We've only had these twice in our lives and they were both times when we were on travel and decided to splurge. I guess Christmas is also a good day to splurge right?
Ooh, those macarons look scrumptious! I've been craving them for a couple of weeks. I thought about baking some... not sure if mine would have turned out as pretty as yours:D. I may have to check out michel patisserie.
ReplyDeleteWow, you know how to make macarons?!?! I heard they're really hard to make.
ReplyDeleteThese were really good. The texture was great. They were a little chewy. Not crunchy or hard at all!
