Pistachio and strawberry macarons

Tangy, fruity macarons are a joy to eat and this is one of my favourite macaron flavour pairings.

Toasted nut chocolates

These crisp chocolate shells are filled with a rich chocolate ganache that has been blended with toasted and crushed nuts: a kind of grown-up Nutella, with a soft, melt-in-the-mouth finish. And this is a great way to use up the remains of various packets of nuts that were opened ages ago!
