Tesco Coconut Macaroons

Review of Tesco Coconut Macaroons **What are they?** Tesco Coconut Macaroons are a deliciously moist coconut confection, a cross between a cake and a cookie is the easiest way to describe the texture. **History** According to 'Wikipedia' macaroons were invented in an Italian monastery in 1792, where they were known as 'amaretti'. Later, two Carmelite nuns, hiding in the town of Nancy during the French Revolution, baked and sold macaroons to cover their expenses. They became known as the "Macaroon Sisters." The English word macaroon comes from the French macaron. The Compact Oxford English Dictionary entry for ...  Read the complete review

How come all of the naughty things in life are the best??!! I can categorically state that everything I enjoy is bad for me (HmmHmm) If only I enjoyed eating a fat free yoghurt or a slice of fresh melon rather than a fresh cream doughnut or an extra sticky lardy cake. Try as I might I cant walk past the aisle that is laden with temptation, it is too much to expect. Tesco Coconut Macaroons have to be packed with a certain amount of care, so they have designed the clear plastic tray to accommodate three macaroons in each side. The outer clear plastic wrapper is trimmed with pale blue.The wrapper states that the packet contains six ...  Read the complete review

A firm favourite in my home, with both family and friends alike, are Tesco Coconut Macaroons. No sooner is the packet opened but they have all been eaten. I have been buying these coconut macaroons from Tesco for a lot of years. The colour of the packaging in the picture above has been updated, and instead of blue it is now green.

The packet opens easily, but I find that the wrapper tears very easily. This is never a problem to me as there are ...  Read the complete review

I went through a phase of loving macaroons a few years ago, then for some reason stopped eating them. I have no idea why. I had a Bounty recently (well two) and that reminded me how much I liked coconut flavoured things and I was suddenly reminded of the macaroons that Tesco sold for just under £1. The pack that is in the supermarket now has obviously changed slightly since the above picture was taken. That's what they looked like in the old days. Now the wrapper is mostly see-through but for a part on the left which has a light green flash stating what they are with some kind of funky pattern. Each macaroon has 139 calories. The macaroon is white coconut ...  Read the complete review

Well firstly, sorry about the title guys, I didn't know what else to put! Tesco Coconut Macaroons are a regular visitor to my house. The whole family love them and as there is only 6 in a packet, there is often a scramble for the last 2. A pack of 6 coconut macaroons (200gms) will set you back 85p. Each coconut macaroon is approx 8cm in diameter. They are made using rice paper on the underside with chocolate flavoured decoration zig-zagging across the top. They usually have a best before date that lasts for about 7 - 10 days in advance. The taste. At the first bite, the rice paper sort of melts and ...  Read the complete review
