If you're looking for a treat that feels both elegant but also captures the joy of summer, look no further than Trader Joe's new Watermelon & Peach Macarons.
Trader Joe's new Watermelon & Peach Macarons are made by the exact same supplier who crafts the brand's Valentine’s Day-exclusive Heart Shaped Macarons. The new summertime version of the delicate French cookies combines the luxurious meringue texture of traditional macarons with the fresh flavors of two sweet summer fruits: ripe peaches and juicy watermelons. Best of all, these cookies match the hues of each fruit, so you'll find pastel-colored pink and green cookies in every box. As Trader Joe's explains, "They add great visual flair when ser ved alongside a light, tasty sorbet or a plate of sliced fresh fruit."
