With Valentine's Day just around the corner, Trader Joe's has created new Heart Shaped Macarons that put a romantic twist on everyone's favorite French cookie.
Macrons are a classic French dessert that almost always consists of two round meringues sandwiching a ganache, buttercream, or jam filling. However, Trader Joe's festive version features heart-shaped cookies made in a fine Belgian bakery. "Each box offers four white, vanilla crème Macarons with strawberry filling and four pink, raspberry Macarons with raspberry crème filling, making them perfect for a V-Day dessert platter," Trader Joe's explains.
With many people spending Valentine's Day at home this year, Trader Joe's new Heart Shaped Macarons are a perfectly sweet treat that just about anyone can enjoy.
