I’ve never had a macaron! I’ve always thought they were so pretty though and wanted to try them. Those bacon ones sound so delicious! And I do love my coffee, so I imagine those ones would be delicious as well.

I LOVE the bacon macaron. I bet no one has ever put chunks of bacon in the tant pour tant before! Fantastic idea. Maybe an ‘Elvis’ mac could exist with peanut butter and banana added! Beautiful macs and even the flat, bubbly ones look delish. Well done!!!

Thanks for the comments everyone!

@Sharyn – there were a few people who did make vegan versions. Most used Ener-G and water to replace the water, and one person ordered some special vegan meringue mix. It can be done, although I imagine it takes some tricky work to get them to look the same.

It would seem macacrons have been on a lot of peoples’ minds lately.

I’d really like to try the green tea macarons at Obento Ya in Minneapolis. Alas, I remain stubbornly vegan. And am doubtful that there are any succesful vegan macaron recipes. But if I ever make my way to Paris I may have to succumb…

Haha, Laduree or Pierre Herme, I think either would faint dead away on seeing bacon used in macarons! I on the other hand think it’s amazing that you pulled it off.

last year I added bacon to the caramel cupcakes so I am with you on the bacon cookie thing. Great job.
