Macarons; will they ever stop being so hot right now?

Taking a look through the basement food courtia of one of the vast department stores we happened across these babies.

Seoul

Truffle macarons. Awesome!!!

Crisp shell, slightly sweet, then a head full of truffle funk. More addictive than smack. We stopped by on the way back through Seoul and picked up a few more to bring home....half of them never made it out of the country.

Macarons? I'm not too sure ....

We were very excited spotting a traditional little sweets shop while walking around Zaragoza. Kim spotted some Macarons (well, at least we thought they were) in the display window. We popped on in thinking a tray of these would be perfect snacks for our bus ride to San Sebastian. After I got in trouble for touching something in one of the displays, oooops, we get a tray with 8 of these delightfully colored looking sweet treats.

Bus trip

We don't even make it onto the bus before we unwrapped the beautiful little package. We are sitting out the front of Zaragoza bus station and dive on in ........................ to both of our surprise they are not at all macarons. They are soft chocolate centres encased in beautifully painted candy shells.

San Sebastian

Kind of like a giant smartie. They were delicious, just not at all what we were expecting ....
