i was listening to npr a few weeks ago and they were saying that the "macaroon is the new cupcake".

i have always been a big fan of the macaroon. the macaroon that they speak of is not my favorite. there are the filled macaroon, flavored usually and put together like a sandwich.

there's another macaroon that is very dense more like a coconut candy sometimes it's covered with chocolate. these are good.

but my favorite is a meringue style macaroon is light and crisp.here
