Morning!

You’ve got some sweetness coming to you today.. buckle up.

During my macaron month research, I found this adorable New Orleans shop called Sucre´.  Do you believe they’ll send you macarons in the mail?  Amazing.  They sent me some of their holiday (you know.. Valentine’s Day.. Mardi Gras?) treats to share with you.

 First of all, can I just say how adorable their packaging is?  Who wouldn’t love seeing this show up in the mail?  Love.  Now let’s get to the goods.

These did show up with a few broken cookies, but they were all glittery and gorgeous that I couldn’t resist giving them a try!  The flavors are strong, so if you’re a fan of raspberry and white chocolate, these are for you.  They would definitely be a hit for the holiday.

So would the Sucre´ For Love of Chocolate Collection.  Chocolate and raspberry filled hearts?

Yes, please.  Subtle raspberry flavor, very creamy.

 And if you’re looking for a taste of Carnival from an authentic New Orleans company, definitely try these Mardi Gras Macarons.  I can’t explain their flavor, but I can confirm that they are sugary sweet and addicting.  Maybe this is what King Cake would taste like as a macaron..

Isn’t everything gorgeous?  You still have time to order before Valentine’s Day, so get on it!  I’d prefer these treats over flowers.. maybe your lady (or gent!) would, too.  And ladies- there’s no shame in leaving hints.

Homemade mac recipes coming for you soon, promise.

Old egg whites are on my counter, at the ready.

Thanks, Sucre´, for sharing your sweets with me.

*PS. I was not paid for this review, but the kind folks at Sucre´ did supply these products.
