Peppermint Hot Chocolate French Macarons
Why not try this little twist on a French classic with these peppermint hot chocolate French macarons? This recipe makes about 12 macarons, so you may want to double or triple the recipe if you’re planning on a crowd. But the nice thing is they are relatively easy to make, and they taste completely amazing. We use our almond flour mixed with cocoa powder, egg whites, powdered sugar and granulated sugar for the chocolate macaron shells. The peppermint hot chocolate buttercream filling is homemade, using butter, powdered sugar, peppermint extract and yummy marshmallow fluff. You can also use crushed candy canes to garnish the edges. This gives them even more peppermint and candy flavor, plus it makes them look extra pretty, too! The end result is fun, bite-sized, festive French macarons that your loved ones won’t be able to resist.White Chocolate and Peppermint Covered Chocolate Cookies
