Step-by-Step Instructions
- Sift the powdered sugar and almond flour together in a bowl, ensuring to sift twice. Set aside.
- Whip the egg whites until foamy. Gradually add cream of tartar and granulated sugar, whipping until stiff peaks form, about 5-7 minutes.
- Fold in green gel food coloring and almond flour mixture in three parts until the batter flows smoothly.
- Pipe tree shapes or circles on a lined baking sheet and tap to release air bubbles.
- Rest the piped macarons at room temperature for 30-60 minutes until they feel dry.
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C) and bake macarons for 14-16 minutes, rotating trays halfway.
- Beat softened butter until fluffy, then mix in powdered sugar, vanilla, heavy cream, and salt. Fold in crumbled chocolate snack cakes.
- Pipe filling onto half of the shells and sandwich with the remaining shells. Optionally drizzle with white chocolate.
- Refrigerate assembled macarons for at least 24 hours before serving for improved texture.

Notes
For best results, allow macarons to mature in the fridge for enhanced flavor.
