Flavors & Ingredients

French Chocolate – Undeniably the King of Macarons. Our Chocolate Mac is the original. If you are a chocolate fanatic, you will love this chewy, dense Macaron filled with a rich chocolate Ganache made from a special dark chocolate from the Ivory Coast.
Caramel Cream – This gem is our best seller. We make a deep amber caramel that we blend with organic, fair-trade vanilla beans from Papua New Guinea, sweet European butter, and organic sea salt to make the most sophisticated and seductive caramel cream flavor that you can imagine.
Espresso – The art of the barista combined with the creativity of the pastry chef. We blend French roasted Espresso with sweet European butter, organic fair-trade vanilla extract and a hint of dark rum to create a robust and intense coffee flavor. The espresso Macaron contains a pleasant lingering bitterness from the fine coffee and cocoa dusting on each cookie.
Raspberry-Rose – A very feminine Macaron, lovely in color and style, yet subtle with an affirmative presence. The beautiful deep pink Macaron is filled with a deliciously tart, raspberry jam combined with organic rose petal oil to intensify the flavor.
Pumpkin Spice – The flavor tastes just like that special pumpkin pie flavor that we love; sweet and savory blended with rich spices. We combine organic pumpkin, brown sugar and European butter with freshly ground nutmeg, cinnamon and ginger to create a creamy pumpkin filing sandwiched between a delicately flavored orange spice Macaron.
Hazelnut - A milk chocolate Ganache that blends the finest European hazelnut praline, freshly ground toasted hazelnuts and milk chocolate. This creamy and intense nut flavor is sandwiched between macarons enhanced with ground hazelnuts.
Mint Chocolate - This tastes like fresh mint combined with dark chocolate like you have never experienced before. Fresh, organic mint is steeped and blended into a delicious mint cream. This delicious mint cream is blended with European butter and finally sandwiched between chocolate macarons in the mini sizes. The large macarons are studded with mini dark chocolate chips.
Organic Vanilla Bean - A true vanilla bean flavor. We make a rich custard with whole milk, eggs and organic vanilla beans and then combine it with European butter, organic sea salt and dark rum to round out the rich vanilla profile.
Pink Grapefruit - For this very special flavor we make an organic pink grapefruit curd made with local McClendon Farm’s pink grapefruit to create a true grapefruit flavor that is bursting with fruit and just the right amount of tartness.
