Macaroons

a couple months ago, i was supposed to bake macaroons for the Daring Bakers Challenge, but i failed to do so because of school... i was craving them today so i thought, why not, and decided to take another stab at macaroons.
now i've baked them before and i always seem to come across the same problem..i cant seem to get the "foot" on my macaroons -___-

i followed the directions from the daring bakers and that....led to some burning.
i quickly looked up another method of baking them (cracking the oven open) and crossed my fingers on my second batch.


i just like pictures of cracked egg shells


heres my finished macaroons filled with chocolate ganache mixed with grounded almonds and walnuts.



close up.......my macaroons dont seem to want to form the feet :(


individually packaged


nicely packed inside a box, ready for its delivery.
enjoy :)
