I’ve finally found a brand of macarons worth the hype<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My oldest daughter loves macarons – which really the only reason I ever buy them, or eat them. I’ve tried a few here and there: frozen and fresh ones from the supermarket or specialty stores, gourmet ones from French bakeries, both in the US and in Paris, and I’ve even made them myself<\/a> – but I never have really gotten the point of them. They usually consist of a too-dry-cookie with an underwhelming filling. I’ve never been impressed, until now.

I’m pleased to say that Pasquier<\/a> makes the best macarons<\/strong> that I’ve ever had and that they are easily available and not too expensive (as far as macarons go, these are very expensive pastries to begin with). The cookies are moist while still having a bit of crunch, and the flavors of both the cookie and the filling are explosive. They are just delicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The macarons come in six flavors: vanilla, pistachio, caramel, raspberry, lemon and chocolate, and I can’t say I have a favorite (OK, maybe pistachio, but maybe lemon). They all hit the right spot, albeit with a tiny bit too much sweetness. They are tiny, I’d say the size of a silver dollar if I remembered just how big those were. But if you can resist not emptying the box, you do get a lot of flavor for your buck. They are made in France, they are refrigerated and you must consume them within 2 days of opening the box. I don’t think you’ll have trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found them at Grocery Outlet<\/a> for $5 for a box of 12 (5.6 oz total), but they also seem to be available at Sprouts<\/a> and Good Eggs<\/a> for $7-8 and at Target<\/a> for $11.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
