“Like their similar TJ cohorts, they’re frozen and you sit them out to thaw for half an hour before eating them. Unlike other desserts prepped in a similar fashion, there wasn’t any trace of freezer-y taste. So there’s a plus. The peppermint cookie part is juuuuust minty enough for my taste, and has the typical tougher outside/softer middle ratio going on. As for the chocolate ganache in between, well….it’s been a few days since we ate them, and I don’t recall too much about it one way or another. Let’s say that means that it’s neither outstanding nor revolting. It probably leans a good bit more towards good than bad on the taste-o-meter, but it certainly wasn’t redlining. Altogether, it’s not a bad macaron (if such a thing even exists), but I’d relegate these to a supporting role on your holiday cookie tray instead of center stage. Maybe I’m just spoiled by my mom’s cookies.”
