MACCS FOR EVERY OCCASION
 
There are the basics with plain coconut):

 
They’re certain to be the best “classics” you’ll ever taste.

Yet Michelle is a master at flavoring macaroons, which leads to the challenge:

There are seasonal specials as well.

 
Don’t worry about buying too much. While they’re baked to order and should be eaten fresh within a week, you can refrigerate them to extend the fresh period. The coconut becomes a bit less moist, but they’re still delicious.

ABOUT MICHELLE

We can’t end without some words about Michelle, the baker extraordinaire of Michelle’s Maccs, who has made us so happy by perfecting our childhood favorite (Almond Joy and Mounds, which are not what they used to be).

This triathlete and a mom of four picky kids is also a candy freak and dessert-a-holic. For years she couldn’t find a sweet treat that tasted great yet made her feel good afterwards.

Her mission began: to make joy-filled, scrumptious treats from whole ingredients. Chocolate and coconut were her favorites since childhood (a kindred spirit!), so she started there:

Coconut in the middle. Fair Trade Belgian chocolate (Callebaut, a Nibble favorite) on the outside. Voilà: the macaroon.
