For months I have seen these Trader Joe’s Trader Jacques’ Macarons Assortis all over my
Instagram feed. Those folks who I follow that enjoy the amazingness that is
Trader Joe’s have posted about how much they enjoyed these macarons … so they
have literally been on my Trader Joe’s list for months. Why months? Well, I couldn’t find them
anywhere!
I had only found the chocolate and vanilla macarons (see
post here) and enjoyed them so I was
looking forward to the assorted flavors. I live in an area where French
bakeries are really few and far between.
In my local area, bakeries are typically Italian bakeries and macarons
are not in existence – but macaroons are. Ideally they are two different
ballgames but both equally delicious. So
low and behold when I spotted these in the freezer section at a Trader Joe’s I
was popping into to get a few things, I grabbed two boxes.
I stuck a box in the refrigerator and opted to have them for
dessert that night. Breaking out the box
I had a sample of each cookie because I was going for the full effect. The box comes with 12 macarons, 2 of each
flavor: cassis, coffee, orange, pistachio, raspberry and salted caramel. My favorite had to have been the pistachio,
followed by the coffee with the orange coming in third. Nonetheless all the macarons were quite tasty
and a unique and different treat.
A serving size is 3 cookies – which comes with a very low
130 calories, which translates into 3 points plus values. Not bad at all!
QUESTION:
Have you ever tried macarons?
