Salted Caramel French Macarons filled with Salted Cararmel Swiss Meringue Buttercream

Happy Valentine's Day from Legally Sweet Confections

Salted caramel has a deep, slightly smokey, seductive and intoxicating taste.  This is the stuff, that can bring a grown man to his knees. 

Legally Sweet's Salted Caramel Macarons  are made with French Coffee Extract infused into the actual shell.  The filling we make 2 ways, the first being Salted Caramel Swiss Meringue Buttercream made with vanilla beans, or Salted Butter Caramel Cream.  Both fillings are made with homemade caramel infused with Fleur de Sel (a sea salt hand collected off the coast of Brittany in France).    Salted Caramel Macarons are a symphony of flavors well orchestrated.

Say "I Love You" this Valentines Day, with Legally Sweet Confections' Salted Caramel Macarons, beautifully packaged in our signature chocolate brown box and luxurious ribbon. 

French Macarons - Fresh Mint

These Fresh Mint Macarons are absolutely delicious and unique.  While the fresh mint retains its wonderful herbal taste, the addition of creme de menthe subtly releases itself and creates the most light, delicate flavor working in symphony with the fresh mint, adding a cool minty flavor that is absolutely divine.

You can see the fresh mint in the ganache.  So delicious.
