When I was in Spain I had the pleasure of trying a few different flavors of French macarons (or "macaroons" for Americans). I had seen them before but honestly they never looked that appetizing...that is until I saw my favorite character, Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl, eating them. I figured I should at least try them and I am so very glad that I did!! I started out by trying a green one (lime) and a pink one (strawberry) and immediatly apon devouring these two, I went back to the cafe and bought one of each flavor!! They are slightly crunchy on the outside and gooey on the inside and melt in your mouth so perfectly that you'd think they were made by angels!! I know that sounds absured because I'm describing something as simple as a cookie but I have a serious sweet tooth and things like this really get me excited.

I have been searching south Florida for a bakery that holds macarons but unfortunately they arer very hard to track down! As soon as I go back to school at the end of them month, my best friends Stephanie and I will be setting out on a mission to find them. And when we do, I plan on stocking up just in case I can't find them for a while. Who knows, if I get to desperate, I might just have to try making them myself!
