Halloween Treats
What do you do when your macarons go horribly wrong? You make them into Halloween treats that what.. Ever since my macaron post I have been making them and they have been perfect. Pretty feet, different colours and so many flavours. Up until Saturday. I made them with exactly the same recipe, measured everything twice and let them dry.
When I was piping them I knew there was something wrong. It was sticky and the mixture was extremely hard to pipe. I put them in the oven and that's when the freaky stuff started happening. The tops of the macarons were perfect but the feet got bigger and bigger.
I took them out and sandwiched them in a passion fruit and white chocolate ganache. The first thing that my mum said was "they look like roadkill".
Great my macarons looked like road kill. Then I thought of Halloween. I can pretend that I meant for them to look like that and I can serve them to the family as a Halloween treat. Just a teaser of whats to come.. They fell for it and within 10 minutes all the Road Kill Macs were eaten...
Kath! That is hilarious! Road kill macs - you can patent that! Given they were finished so fast, I am sure they were delicious anyway!
HAHAHA! Good one! Can I have your passionfruit white chocolate ganache recipe? The last time I added fruit puree on my white chocolate ganache, it crumbled and split.
LOL!! HAHAHHAHAA! Nice touch Shanaynay!
I think they look wonderful! Great idea making them into halloween treats - don't want anything to go to waste!
lol - Most of my macarons have been delicious roadkill. Next time I'll have to add the spiders!
Those spiders scare me!
i'd still eat them even though they're roadkill. Its perfect for halloween and adds to the theme ^_^
Hehehe, I shouldn't laugh, but macarons are such temperamental things, aren't they? Your deformed ones look so perfect with the Halloween spiders.
love your decorations Kath its so cute hehe
ARRRGGGH! I thought I really have spiders on my computer screen! Great idea to use them for halloween!
Hehe great idea! Pretend it was supposed to be those all along and distract with faux creepy crawlies :D

Thank you for dropping by my blog. I enjoyed browsing through yours....nice posts, I'm sure I will be back for more...
Nice to meet you.
Roadkill macs - that's priceless! Honestly they look very pretty to me, not scary at all. Thanks for visitng my blog :)
Road kill macs - love the name! So many people complain of no feet, but I wonder why yours had such large ones! The passionfruit and white chocolate ganache sounds divine though!
That's very creative. They do look real and scary.
Hehe awesome! Road kill macarons - good work palming them off as a halloween treat! love the decorations too!

Nice styling of them for halloween. The flavour sounds delicious =)
