Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). In a clean bowl, whip room temperature egg whites with cream of tartar until foamy. Gradually add granulated sugar and whip until stiff peaks form.
- Sift the almond flour and confectioners' sugar together into another bowl to remove lumps. Fold the dry mixture into the meringue until no dry bits remain.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Pipe 1.5-inch circles onto the parchment, sprinkle graham cracker crumbs and allow resting for 60 minutes.
- Bake the macarons for 19-23 minutes until firm. They should not jiggle when gently tapped.
- In a saucepan, gently heat heavy cream until it simmers. Pour over chopped chocolate and butter, let sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth.
- Beat softened butter and marshmallow fluff until light, then gradually add confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and salt until fully combined.
- Pair up macaron shells. Pipe marshmallow buttercream onto one shell, caramelize with a kitchen torch, add ganache and sandwich with another shell.
- Refrigerate assembled macarons for at least 24 hours to enhance flavor.

Notes
Allow egg whites to reach room temperature for maximum volume. Consider using various chocolates for ganache flavor.
