Chocolate Macaroons with Chocolate Ganache Filling



After reading the blog from Ellie’s Blog about macaroons, I have decided to try myself as she encouraged bloggers to do it as it is very simple and easy to make. As you guys might not know that i am living with my brother and another 4 flatmates in an apartment. It can be really hectic when everyone around at home and that can distract my concentration baking macaroons. Therefore I have decided I will do it during weekend where no one will be home so I will not get distracted to do macaroons.
