A’SMORE puts a twist on artisanal Parisian macarons with its own plant-based, s'more-inspired signature, as seen in the A’SMORE Voyage Collection. This forward-thinking yet nostalgic set of macarons features unique varieties like the A'SMORE Signature with vegan milk chocolate and the Truffle Noire, made with chèvre dark chocolate ganache, truffle paste, black truffle oil and activated charcoal.
A'SMORE’s approach to in-demand flavors begins with a deep appreciation for culinary innovation, drawing inspiration from fine dining and Michelin-starred restaurants. Global tastes and techniques inform the creation of desserts that feel both sophisticated and exciting. "Our Ube Coconut is an ode to Filipino heritage; our Matcha Caramel utilizes Azuki beans for the caramel and Genmaicha Tea for the crumble to honor Japanese traditions," A'SMORE founder Anwaar Spence told the Specialty Food Association.
