Christmas Wish No. 10: An assortment of colorful macarons

Macarons, not to be confused with macaroons, are hands down, my favorite French pastry ever. They look a lot like colorful mini-hamburgers, but I assure you these traditional pastries taste nothing like hamburger. Because then, that would be kind of disgusting — hamburger flavored pastries? Macarons in a nutshell, are traditional French pastries made out of egg whites, almond powder, powdered sugar and regular sugar with a ganache cream in the middle.Definitely not for you if you’re on a diet.

They come in a wide variety of flavors from apple to green tea to mocha. Macarons aren’t typically something I find myself eating on a regular basis given that they’re kind of expensive and hard to find where I live. Hence…they’re what I wish for this Christmas.
