Review: Sucre Macaroons

Earlier this month, I received a very tasty treat in the mail from Sucre, a delicious company based out of New Orleans. A friend I went to high school with works for Sucre, and saw that I did reviews on my blog and love food. She asked me if she could give the people at Sucre my information. Of course I said yes. How do you say no when there are tasty treats involved? This is so far the most delicious review I’ve been asked to do.

When I got home from running errands one day the box was waiting for me on the front step. I brought it inside and tore it open emeadeatly. Inside the shipping box was a cute little striped box tied with a ribbon. I’m going to steal a line from a movie and change it a bit and say, “Sucre, you had me at the box.” It was adorable. Wrapping paper is not needed when the package is this cute. Presentation is a huge part of the eating experience, and Sucre clearly understands that.

After I got over the adorable box, it was time to open the box and dive in. Before attacking the little treats, I did take a minute to admire their beauty. Aren’t they lovely? I had to remind myself that I was reviewing these delicate French pastries so that I would shove five or six in my mouth at once. I had the pleasure of trying the Chocolate Macaroons and the Peppermint Macaroons. They were both to die for. Oh. So. Tasty. I’m not sure which one I liked the best. My advice is to take a Chocolate Macaroon and a Peppermint Macaroon and smoosh them together. I love chocolaty-minty things. Now, these tasty delights are very flaky, so this is not something I recommend you indulge in in bed. It will be amazing, but it will also be a big mess.

The macaroons are made with almond flour, so Steve was able to indulge in them as well. I’m not sure if Sucre considers their macaroons to be certifiably gluten free, so don’t take my word for it, but Steve was able to eat them without his Ciliac’s Disease responding to them. Please contact Sucre for more information on the gluten freeness of their products.

Sucre is based out of New Orleans, so if you are in the area, I highly recommend you visit one of Sucre’s shops. If you are not in the area and are aching for some delicious chocolates or pastries they have a wonderful online botique.

To tempt your sweet tooth some more, here is a short video of one of the pastry chef’s at Sucre making macaroons.

Thank you so much Sucre for the opportunity to try your Holiday Macaroons and share the joy I found in them with my readers!
