I am pleased to report that my second attempt in making these finicky little beauties went pretty well. It went a lot better than the first time, that’s for sure. However, I still have to work on these a lot more before I can officially filed it under a success story. This time, I managed to get the top of my macaron nice and smooth without any wrinkles and without any of those almond bumps. A good tip is to try to run the almond and powdered sugar mixture a couple of time through a sieve and regrind any that don’t pass through the sieve.
This time, I used Tartelette recipe, which was so much easier to follow. I also tried to alter the baking time to 12 minutes instead of the suggested 15 minutes and lowered the oven temperature just a tad for better visible feet. I think this is all about getting to know your oven and finding out which baking time works best on your oven.
After filling the macarons, I like to leave them refrigerated for about an hour before digging in. You don’t really have to do this, but I personally like how the flavor develops over time. I used the same peanut butter fudge that I used for when I made the chocolate peanut butter cake and it turned out really yummy.
Well, in the meantime I’m going to do more research on the different types of macaron recipes and find out which one works best for me. Gotta run now, need to stock up on more egg whites. Brb.
Wow, these look amazing! Impressive
These look beautiful! Way to persevere and keep on trying despite set backs. I can get so down on myself when a recipe doesn’t turn out exactly like it should. Thanks for sharing!
looks delicious
These look beautiful, I made my first batch of macaroons 9 times before I conceded defeat and I haven’t gone near them since, but maybe I should have another go!
Those are some perfect macarons alright! And with that killer flavor combo, I don’t think they could be much better.
So perfect and beautiful! What a gorgeous flavor!
Cheers,

They’re perfect! And i love the flavor combo. Well done (=
These look absolutely perfect. I am a bit jealous because I have tried making macarons so many times, and have never really made them right.
Beautiful job!
*kisses* HH
Holy Moly…I don’t know you but I think I may have to hate you. These look AMAZING! I have sworn off baking this week…trying to de-caloricize my week. I have just added your blog to my blogroll because I have never stopped by and been disappointed. Keep up the fabulous baking and photos.
Wow, your mac look perfect…I never tried making them, one of this day will create the courage to do so
These peanut butter fudge macarons turned out beautiful! The shells and pieds are perfect. Nicely done!
Mmm, peanut butter fudge! These look lovely! I do need to grind my almonds a little finer. Tartelette has been my macaron source, too!
