Macaroon Chicks

You guys, I think we are on our 87th round of Easter egg hunts in preparation for Sunday already. I made a mistake by taking my Easter bin out early last weekend and the little man (um, he’s THREE now–I know, I’ve been gone awhile!) spotted it and immediately wanted demanded an egg hunt. Cue to the 86 more times later…I’m egged out. But we’re preparing, you guys. Holidays are a big thing over here in the F&B’s household, (I am sure you got the feeling). and this Sunday I plan on doing a BIG egg hunt (and then put them away for another 364 days). Needless to say, I need a new Easter-themed activity so I made Macaroon Chicks to kill the time. Which, that’s all I have these days…

You can use store-bought macaroons like I did or make your own (to which I don’t have my own recipe but a simple search will steer you in the right direction). Listen to me, telling you how to use Google.
