The Macaron

Have you had them? They are an art in of itself.

Being a party gal myself, I have heard of the Sucre' Shop out of New Orleans before tasting their perfect confections. Now you can too!

These little pieces of goodness are a married combination of little outside crunch with a smooth middle. I could not believe all the flavors that were offered in their Signature Macaron Collection. With flavors like chocolate, hazelnut, almond, pistachio, bananas foster, strawberry, pecan and salted caramel a girl can't go wrong!

Just look at all those yummy ingredients in this salted caramel macaron!

Check out this recipe! You can try to make these lovely's right in your own home!
