Yes, that’s “macarons,” not “macaroons.” The macaron is a meringue-like cookie filled with a jam or cream filling. Sounds nice, right? But wait until you hear how they’re done by the Sucré Sweet Boutiques and Confection Studio, a New Orleans specialty shop that’s sponsoring this week’s giveaway.
One of you is going to get the 15-piece Signature Macaron Collection, whose flavors are almost too good to share.
Pecan, obviously — this is the South. But you’ll also get chocolate, almond, pistachio, strawberry, hazelnut, salted caramel and bananas Foster.
If you win, don’t tell anybody. They’ll just want a bite.
I live too far away from Sucré to test the wares myself. But you’ve got to love a bakery that devotes part of its site to “Obsessions” — treats like candied violet chocolate bars, handmade Tahitian marshmallows, candied pecans, and Sicilian pistachio, rose petal and chocolate bars.
This being New Orleans, you can get king cakes. This week, however, Sucré is donating a more petite treat.

The salted caramel looks delicious! Thanks for hosting the contest.
Yum!
Donna, if you have never been to NOLA, you really need to go! And not at Mardi Gras!! An early-October stroll around the Garden District is lovely, and early March can be quite pleasant, too. I went to grad school in Louisiana and have several pleasant (and stone-cold sober, LOL) memories of NOLA.
macarons are my favorite thing in the world

Looks delish! I love Sucre and miss it so much since having moved back to Los Angeles. Let it be me!
Wow! Those look AMAZING!
I live in NOLA and Sucre is the ONLY bakery in the city that I buy any baked goods from. Everything in their store is amazing!! Getting ready to order my daughter’s 21st bday cake from them.
Mmmm the pistachio looks delicious!
Ever since my girlfriend and I visited Sucre last year after a long day of enjoying Magazine St. Ive been trying to get my hands on some more of those macarons for her! Id pay the $15 any day but it costs almost twice that to ship them!
I sure hope I win!
I would love to win! I do love to treat myself-mmmm, chocolate.

Did someone say salted caramel? Chocolate? Hazelnut? Bananas Foster? It sounds like heaven to me!! I would love to be included in the contest and I am going to check out their site right now! YUM!! Thanks for the contest and take care!
Sucré is the best!! They also make fabulous chocolates and were named one of N. America’s top 10 chocolatiers!!
O my! A few years ago, my sister took me to Paris along with a chef-friend. We spent six days searching for the best macaron. The winner was Pierre Herme. But the losers tasted fine as well!
I would love to win. Thanks. Good luck everyone.

Yummy, though I’m afraid that winning would be dangerous. Daughter A obviously gets the PINK strawberry macaron, and daughter B would be happy with anything sweet, but my husband and I would fight to the death over the salted caramel.
They’re almost too beautiful to eat!!!
…almost.
Yum!
I truly enjoy your site….I’m finding it inspirational.
Follow on facebook and rss. Look delicious!
I need these!!! Yummmmm!
Thank you for the clarification of the correct name – drives mr CRAZY when people call them macaroons!
