Nutella & Raspberry macarons – La Boulange de Noe

Nutella Raspberry macarons La Boulange de Noe

I’ve made it my personal mission to try all the different macaron flavors I come across, lol!  La Boulange has a colorful array of flavors displayed in their pastry case and they look absolutely beautiful.  I loved the nutella macaron – it was dark, nutty, and not too sweet.  The chocolate hazelnut flavor was prominent but not overpowering, and the chopped hazelnut bits on the outside were cute and provided a great texture.  The raspberry macaron was a bit of a disappointment.  It was too soft and almost disintegrated upon the touch.  I guess I don’t like my macarons that flimsy.  $1.50 each

I remember having macarons once or twice as a kid, but it’s only recently that I’ve truly “discovered” these amazing confections! They’re like magic in your mouth – a dizzying combination of chewy, soft, crunchy, silky, grainy, and sweet.  There are so many flavors and colors that each time you try a different one, it’s a completely new and exciting experience.  Miette serves some of the best in town.  Of these three flavors, I liked hazelnut the best!
