Macarons!

I am just crazy about this little French treat! They are so delicious I get silly thinking about them! The outer shell is a soft but slightly crunchy concoction and the center is a creamy filling of the coordinating flavor.

In this picture there is cafe, citron (lemon), pistache, chocolat and either fraise (strawberry) or (framboise) raspberry. My favorite however, is caramel beurre salé (salted butter caramel), with rose (literally, rose!) coming in second.

Most importantly, the kids don't really like them, so my stash is safe from the marauders!
