Butterscotch Macaroons

Neilson

Macaroons are an acquired taste; if this is in fact that case it is a taste I have yet to acquire. It's not that I hate them; in fact I'll on occasion at a party or social event be known to dip into the candy bowl and take one. They're just not the kind of treat I'd ever buy. I've never craved them and frankly don't know if I ever want to. The thing that caught my attention with these new Macaroons was the Butterscotch flavour.

Not enough candies have butterscotch now a days, caramel seems to have taken this flavour over. To be honest I'm not sure if I could tell you the difference but since the idea was a little novel I figured I'd give them a shot.

The problem is the "butterscotch" flavour lasts about 2 seconds at best so basically I just found myself chomping at a box of Macaroons. By the time I was onto my third one the butterscotch taste was pretty much gone completely. You'll notice that I didn't give this a high score at all, remember I don't hate macaroons, it's just that I'm not a big fan and I particularly hate being deceived.
