Author : Nicole

Macarons are a definitive in debauchery and here I've combined chocolate macarons with a smooth and velvety salted dim chocolate ganache.

Macarons. The simple notice can ingrain dread in numerous a dough puncher, myself notwithstanding.

I endeavored to make macarons once previously, and it was an unmitigated fiasco. Each and every one broke.

And keeping in mind that I promised not to give the mistake a chance to get me down, and to make them once more, it was one more year before I did.

In any case, as of late I chose the time had come to defeat my macaron fears and defy them head on by making a bunch of chocolate macarons.
