I didn’t mean to suggest another flavor was needed. One is more than enough. I’m curious about the flavor of the cookie part and filling. Are they both chocolate?
Actually, it’s “macaron” (only one “O”), which is essentially a meringue, usually made with egg whites and almond flour, and often served as a delicate “sandwich” with a filling in a complementary flavor.
A “macaroon” (double “O”), on the other hand, is a chewy coconut-based cookie.
Jules, I’m not sure what you’d call the flavor of the macaron. Plain, I guess. I was limited with the filling because my hosts were cooking kosher, and didn’t want dairy. So I couldn’t use the typical buttercream filling. Instead, I layered with melted bittersweet chocolate which I also drizzled on the top.
Gorgeous! What flavor besides the chocolate?
I made one flavor. And that was so much work, I was ready to scream.

I really appreciate this, Helen. I’m about to make the correction.

They look fabulous, Wendy, and you are a braver woman than I. I hope the guests were suitably impressed!
The kids were the most excited. The drizzles of chocolate totally won them over.
