Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by sifting the powdered sugar and almond flour together twice in a large mixing bowl.
- In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites on medium speed until foamy. Gradually add the cream of tartar, then the granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Gently add in green gel food coloring to the meringue and mix until the color is uniformly distributed.
- Fold the almond flour mixture into the meringue until the batter flows like thick lava.
- Transfer the batter into a piping bag and pipe tree shapes or circles onto lined baking sheets.
- Allow the piped macaron shells to rest at room temperature for 30-60 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and bake the macarons for 14-16 minutes.
- Let the macarons cool completely on the baking mats.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, heavy cream, and salt. Mix until smooth, then fold in the crumbled snack cakes.
- Pipe a dollop of filling onto the flat side of one macaron shell and sandwich with another shell.
- For an optional decoration, melt white chocolate, drizzle over the macarons, and sprinkle with festive sprinkles.
