The French macaron is the perfect hostess gift, shower or wedding favor, holiday present, addition to a special dinner party or just a sweet treat. A macaron, not to be confused with the American macaroon — or Emmanuel Macron, the President of France — is a sweet meringue-based confection filled with a layer of buttercream, jam, curd or ganache, made in-house and available in more than a dozen flavors. New and seasonal flavors may not be featured in this key.
