Chocolate-Dipped Macaroons
I have a rather interesting relationship with coconut. I’ve never actually liked the fruit itself, despite how wildly appealing it is when you’re sitting on some tropical beach. It’s just one of those things that looks better than it tastes. When it comes to desserts though, you won’t find a bigger fan. Yesterday I made coconut macaroons (I used this recipe) for a dinner party and I still can’t believe how easy they were to whip up. They were perfect on their own, but the addition of semi-sweet chocolate brought them to a whole other level.

Wow these look delicious.
I am the same, I can never imagine eating it in its raw state, however hand me a Bounty and I can’t get enough!

My mom and I make these for friends and family every Christmas, with semi sweet chocolate too! Their definitely a crowd pleaser. You’ve now inspired me to make out of the season, they just look so yummy!
I’m actually the opposite! I love fresh coconut — the water, milk, ‘meat’…but not dried coconut. It’s always gets caught in my throat–like popcorn. But these macaroons look so delicious…I think I’ll try out the recipe!

Chocolate with coconut is like paradise….
It looks delicious!
You made my day
I’m not a fan of coconut in most dessert categories, but I have to admit this looks delicious! : )
I love this recipe. I make them sometimes but without chocolate. Maybe I will try with chocolate also! I hope the party was great!
Oh they look divine, might have to try those out this weekend.

Wow, those look delicious! I have a similar relationship with straight-up coconut – it just always looks better than it tastes to me. It’s like, I feel like I SHOULD like it, but would just rather have it as garnish on cake or dipped in chocolate! I didn’t know these were so easy to make, so thanks!

So strange that I am am the complete opposite of you and many others! I actually like straight up raw coconut, but can’t stnd it in deserts and candy bars! These are beautiful though.
You must try coconut M&Ms.
Those look divine!
Nikki is right… You always make things look so easy =) that’s what I love abou your blog.
Xoxo
coconut macaroons are by far my favorite coconut treat, and i agree ~ sooo easy to make! i use a recipe my grandmother passed down
happy baking!
http://stylewithinreach.blogspot.com
I’m not the biggest fan of coconut either, oddly. These look so yummy though. Kind of like Samoas, the Girl Scout Cookie, which are so delicious because they’re the perfect consistency. You know what else is delicious that I tried recently? Coconut water. YUM.
I completely agree with The Lil Bee – these definitely remind me of Samoas! I’m feeling totally inspired now to give making my own a whirl – even throw a homemade graham cracker base in there? Delish!

yumyum, in norway we eat that every christmas <3 ahh, i want christmas now !

Mmm! These look great!
Too funny, I just made these over the weekend for my son’s 2nd birthday party! (Slightly different recipe, but same concept, dipped in chocolate.) I wasn’t sure how many people were coconut fans, but I can tell you that those macaroons went fast!! People were ranting and raving about how good they were. They seriously are amazing, especially if you keep them cold so the chocolate stays hard. Mmm… need to make more NOW!

These look amazing ! Love chocolate and so into the baking mood. Love your blog!
Im so glad you did a post on Macaroons! One of my favorite desserts to make and to eat
this looks so yummy!
GOODNESS! This looks so good! I haven’t had a macaroon in forever! This is a great twist (: Love it!
as an island girl (I live in Antigua), I’ve gotta stand up in defense of the coconut. Such a misunderstood fruit… or is it a nut?? LOL.
Nice post- I’ve actually never had macaroons, but these make me wanna try to do them myself.
Love your blog too!
It was a huge inspiration to start mine
xo
oh! those look like my FAVORITE childhood cookies.
Yum yum yum yum. I am definitely going to try this!
LOVE coconut one of my fav flavors!! The macaroons look so yummy too, never had one. Might have to make my own
http://www.fassioncity.blogspot.com
holy fudge! those look delicious!
I tend to be the opposite…I love coconut flavored drinks and coconut the fruit, but shy away from coconut desserts. These look beautiful though. I may have to try them out!
YUM! I love it. Coconut is one of the greatest delights ever.
Yum! I usually use Ina’s macaroon recipe, but these look great too. I’ll have to try.

These look amazing! I too have a weakness for Coconut desserts
Might have to try these next dinner party.
I love coconut! It is actually super good for you too. The chocolate dipped situation just takes things to a whole other level…!
http://www.glamlatte.com
Those look delicious! I’ll have to try dipping the bottom in chocolate next time; usually I drizzle it on top and it never hardens. I’m still trying to perfect the consistency of my chocolate.
One of my absolute faves! They’re the best.
mmm delish!
i’m the opposite though, i only like coconuts fresh…nothing coconut flavors or whatnot.
coconut scented things i love though
looks delicious! yumm

Oh. my. god. Coconut macaroons are my favorite “cookie” or whatever you want to call them.
I’ve been loving Le Pain Quotidien’s coconut macaroons lately but I never thought about making my own! THANKS!

Delish! Have you ever tried Hail Merry Macaroons? they are Raw, Vegan, Gluten-Free, etc. and they are SO DELICIOUS! they have chocolate and vanilla/coconut. Check them out
They also have a DELICIOUS Meyer lemon tart that I’m OBSESSED with!

Coincidink! I posted something on macaroons from my fave bakery today ! If you are ever Chicago, you must try them.

We could be besties…..
Chocolate macaroons are so good. I have a recipe from Nordstrom that’s absolutely delicious. Alternatively, I really enjoy Scandinavian coconut cookies. They’re similar, but use medium coconut and don’t have the chocolate. They’re deliciously simple with only four ingredients and no flour. Here’s the recipe: http://outsideoslo.wordpress.com/2010/07/05/coconut-cookies-for-a-baking-whim/
So ironic! The friends and i were planning a get-together tomorow and were planning on whipping up a couple batches of coconut macaroons. Now that i came across the chocolate addition, we may just be using your version instead. (;
I can’t even think about the recipe and how good this looks because I am fixated on your photography skills. These are really amazing pictures.
sooooo mouth-watering.
i really want to taste it. lol.

I’ve always wanted to try making these! You make it seem possible. I personally am quite partial to almond macaroons. Need to make those soon…
These look so yummy!
ooh! just noted down the recipe!

thanks for sharing

Holy moly, do those look delicious! Coconut and chocolate has to be one of my top favorite flavor combinations ever.
Those look wonderful, and I don’t even really like coconut! Great job Em! My mom adores coconut macaroons I’ll have to try your recipe. I do love coconut water though, it’s my new obsession (I blame tabloid mags).
Yum! Looks so good! Seeing as you are a bit of a foodie, and obviously have a thing for cupcakes, you should join in my bake-n-blog party! Come by my blog to check it out, the more the merrier!
I’m hungry just looking at them haha!
