A Dozen Macarons variés

To create authentic macarons, we turned to our partners in France, where macarons have been celebrated since the…well…regular Renaissance! There, they use a cutting-edge, roboticized variation of the classic macaronage technique, to create almond-and-egg-white-based meringue cookies that are slightly crisp, slightly chewy, and alluringly airy. And their vibrant fillings, ranging from jam to buttercream, are sincerely satisfying.

Speaking of which, Trader Joe’s A Dozen Macarons Variés features six fabulous flavors: Apricot, Coconut, Fig, Salted Caramel, Lemon, and Pistachio. With two Macarons of each flavor in a box, the assortment presents beautifully, resembling the appearance of a Macaron display in a Paris pâtisserie or a local, upscale bake shop.
