Nutty Turtle Macarons

Turtles are one of my favourite sea-life animals.  They are so adorable and I just love them.  Not only do I collect turtle things but I love seeing turtle related food things. If you read my last blog, you will realise that I just discovered how delicious peanut butter is in desserts.  So to follow on with the theme of peanut butter, I decided to make these super cute Nutty Turtle Macarons. These turtle macarons are so fun to make. They have a delicious peanut butter filling in the centre and a sprinkle of crushed peanuts for the turtle shell. I used white chocolate buttons for the head and feet of the turtle. To create the turtle eyes I piped two dots using some coloured icing. I was really happy with the way these turtle macarons turned out.  They are almost too cute to eat.
