FRESH PEPPERMINT FRENCH MACARONS

Author : Alexis Middleton

Recently I chose to endeavor French Macarons for my girl's casual get-together birthday, and I got snared. I've been gone for loads of flavors, hues, and fillings from that point forward, and these peppermint macintoshes are my most recent.

The shells look pepperminty, however the flavor truly originates from the yummy peppermint buttercream filling. To make the peppermint twirl look of the shells, I utilized a candy stick to paint stripes of gel sustenance shading onto within a baked good sack. At that point I filled the baked good sack with player.
