I am almost always up for trying new tasty sweets. After all, there just might be something out there I would absolutely love, but have never tried before. So, when I heard about the French Macarons from Karolina, I was thrilled to taste them.
Karolina has been creating their whimsical confections since 2008. The chefs behind these treats use authentic techniques and only the finest quality ingredients. They have had the opportunity to work with some of the finest pastry chefs in the world as the perfected the creations. They also seek to tread as lightly as possible on our environment. All chocolate is acquired through Fair Trade and is grown naturally in Venezuela.
We were able to try out each of French Macaron flavors offered at Karolina. We were sent the Macaron Petit, which contains 2 each of the 6 flavors of macarons.
Chocolate
Raspberry
Pistachio
Pecan Caramel
Cinnamon
Coffee
The French Macarons from Karolina are made from only a handful of ingredients: egg whites, sugar, natural almond flour, milk, cream, and butter. They ate completely gluten-free as well. All ingredients used to prepare the macarons are natural. Karolina macarons are prepared in the traditional Parisian style, sandwiching two light cookies together with a flavored cream or marmalade.
The box that the macarons arrived in was stunning. It was the perfect regal setting for such an elegant selection of sweets. Due to all the different flavors in our box, it was quite colorful. I had a hard time choosing which flavor to try first.
Ultimately, I went with Chocolate. The adorable little treats were almost too sweet to bite into... almost being the key! I bit in. I noted that the flavor was light, but you could definitely taste it. The outer cookie of the macaron provided a crunch, while the inner filling added some chewy goodness.
This holiday season, whether you are looking for a special touch for a holiday party or just want to surprise someone with a superb tasty gift, I urge you to check out Karolina. To ensure freshness, they are shipped quickly. So, you should have no trouble getting a tasty treat in time for the holidays!
