Where to Find Adorable, Affordable French Macarons This Fall

Ever walk past something so magical it stops you in your tracks?? Well that was me, grocery shopping earlier this week šŸ˜… These little fall treasures appear to be a seaonal item. THIRTY-SIX adorable macarons for $15! A steal.

Yummy flavors included in my box:
Chocolate Fudge
Creme Brulee
Apple Cinnamon
Pumpkin Spice
Red Velvet
and Candy Cane!

I found these dainty French macarons at Samā€™s Club on an end cap freezer cabinet in the frozen food section. We recently started shopping there more frenquently and this is the first time Iā€™ve noticed these treasures. From the packaging, it seems it is a seasonal product, both by the ā€œlimited time offerā€ label and flavors like pumpkin spice and candy cane.

Iā€™d love to try my hand at macarons at home some time, I had an absolute blast learning how to make the French dessert at La Petit Delicat with my gal pals during my bachelorette party earlier this year!

*Most* macarons are gluten free because they are made from almond flour. Note thatā€™s not always the case. These macarons are labeled gluten free but on the back of the box it says that the macarons are made in a facility where wheat products are processed. So proceed with caution and as always, read my disclaimer and do your homework!

Darrell canā€™t eat macarons since theyā€™re made from almond flour. But it is rare thereā€™s ever a dessert I can have that he canā€™t so Iā€™ll take it!!

Do you like French macarons? Have you ever made them?
