macaroons!

People sometimes get confused when I talk about macaroons.  They come in all different shapes and sizes, some chocolate coated others pure coconut.  It’s even easy to confuse macaroons, the sweet soft coconut confection, with macarons, the French confection made with eggwhite, icing sugar, and ground almonds.  Macarons come in a rainbow of colours and flavours, vs macaroons are mostly coconut with a hint of almond extract.
