• 1 teaspoon caramel emulsion/extract
• 
  
• For Filling:

• 1 cup (125 g) confectioner's sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

• For Ganache:
• 1/4 cup (45 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 to 3 tbsp ( 30 - 45 ml) cream

• melted chocolate, optional

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Prepare the macaron batter. Place the egg whites and granulated sugar into a mixer bowl and whisk on high speed for 2 to 3 minutes, just until stiff peaks form. Next, add the caramel emulsion or extract and whisk again for 30 seconds, just until the color and flavor is incorporated. Sift the confectioner's sugar and almond flour into a separate mixing bowl.
2. Add the meringue to the sifted flour and sugar. Using a spatula, fold and flatten the meringue into the dry ingredients, scraping from the bottom of the bowl to get all the ingredients incorporated. Mix and fold until the batter reaches ribbon stages and ribbons off the spatula. Transfer the batter into a pastry bag tipped with a simple, round tip.
