Chocolate, bacon and peanut butter. Three things you might take to your desert island, or pack into your emergency disaster wheelie bin survival thingy?Not me, I made macarons...Chewy and sweet and salty these French oral taste bombs totally worked. Making macarons scare the beejeezies out of me but this is the secondbatch I'vemade in a week and although the feet could be a little bigger I'm well chuffed with the results. I baked the bacon until super crispy and then buzzed it in the food processor, you want it to look like those weird bacon bits you can buy in a container only a little finer.Once you've mixed your macaronage fold in some of the bacon crumbs and pipe your shells as you normally would. I used about half a cup but wish I'd used more, the bacon taste comes through very slightly at the end. I added peanut butter and some more bacon dustto some leftover chocolate butter cream from my festival shenanigans last weekend (scroll to the bottom) and the mac was finished.
