If you search #macaroon you will find macarons wrongly hashtagged as macaroons!!
Macaroons are coconut based and mainly made up of desiccated coconut whereas macarons are made of egg whites and almond.
The Brompton House macaroons were big and moist and loaded with coconut but they were quite sweet.
Anyway, I will also trying putting them in the oven to see if it makes the macaroon more aromatic.
Somehow these Macaroons didn't taste as soon as how I remembered them.
The ones I had in the past were less sweet and they had some rice paper on the base.

As well as Macaroons, Brompton House also do a wide range of treats like muffins, apple puffs and brownies.
At the recent IFE show, Brompton House were there so I sampled the apple puff and the new individual packaged muffins.
The apple puff was surprisingly good and would taste even better if I had it with some cream or custard.
The pastry was more like hard layers of flaky pastry than puff but it was still good.
Visually it looked like sausage roll filled with apple filling.
Will be updating the taste of the muffin soon.
