Experience now shows that makes them spill and crack in the oven- very frustrating to watch.<\/p>\n<p>There are 2 fillings; chocolate ganache, made of 150 ml of double cream, hot, 150 g of dark chocolate melted in it, excellent, I must say. Not too bitter and once cooled, nice and easy to pipe onto the macaroons.<\/p>\n<p>Then the caramel one. I used the Bonne Maman Caramel spread, 130g\u00a0 of it mixed with 250 g packet of mascarpone. This one didn&#8217;t make me sing. It took quite some time to cool it, but it still spilled out. And when tasting the ready macaroons I decided I&#8217;m not getting much of the caramel, so I nuked a bit of the caramel spread in the microwave and drizzled some over the top.<\/p>\n<p>They are lovely. Decadent. Nutty. Sweet, but not sickly.
