I’m so excited about our trip to New York City next week!  A visit or several visits to the famous Laduree will definitely be a must since it’s walking distance from our hotel.  I was first introduced to these delicious little treats on a trip to Paris nearly ten years ago.  Not to be confused with the coconut macaroons, these are made with ground almonds, egg whites, sugar, and filled with either a buttercream, jam, or ganache filling.  Simply divine.

New flavors are created every season.  Some seasonal flavors that they’ve made in the past include:  chocolate and passionfruit, chocolate and lime, granny smith apple, almond morello cherry, and orange blossom to name a few.

And if you thought that you were in for a treat already, just wait until you see their gorgeous packaging!  Simply exquisite.  Bon appetit!
