Nutella Macarons

Nutella Macarons have a pure Nutella filling that will impress any chocolate connoisseur!!!

My eldest miss made these last week, and I have to tell you that they are just amazing. They are so yummy and I’m incredibly proud of her macaron making skills because let’s face it, macarons are not the easiest cookie to make. You have to get the consistency of the recipe perfect or they won’t bake right. Not only did she get it right, she made them better than I do!

The centre is pure Nutella, and together with the macaron biscuit, it’s such an incredible chocolate explosion when you bite into one. Yummo!!!

The recipe makes up so many macarons, that you won’t be able to help yourself and will be eating at least a couple of these a day. Nom Nom, let’s just say that there is nothing better than my afternoon coffee and one of these macarons.

Ingredients
