Flavor Reviews

Chocolate Chip Macaroons:

• Texture: Excellent chewy coconut with a nice distribution of chocolate chips.
• Taste: Predominantly coconut with a subtle chocolate presence. The coconut flavor is strong enough that it overshadows the chocolate.
• Overall Impression: Delicious, though the chocolate flavor could be more pronounced. We speculated that dipping them in chocolate might enhance the chocolate experience.

Rocky Road Macaroons:

• Texture: Contains coconut, chocolate chips, cocoa powder, and cashews.
• Taste: Rich cocoa flavor with a sweet balance. The cocoa stands out but isn’t bitter.
• Overall Impression: Very tasty with a noticeable difference from the chocolate chip variety. The nuts add a pleasant texture, although the cashew flavor is subtle.

Pistachio Orange Macaroons:

• Texture: Similar to the others, with a strong orange aroma upon opening the package.
• Taste: The orange flavor is dominant, with the pistachio being nearly undetectable. The orange is a bit harsh on the throat, reminiscent of orange soda.
• Overall Impression: The orange flavor is intense and might be overwhelming for some. Combining it with cocoa could create an interesting flavor profile, similar to chocolate-covered orange.

Final Thoughts

• Favorite Flavor: Rocky Road tops our list due to its balanced cocoa flavor and added nuts. The Chocolate Chip macaroons come in second, followed by Pistachio Orange.
• Recommendation: If you love coconut, these macaroons are a must-try. Each flavor offers a unique twist, and they make for a delightful treat.
