This weekend, I finally took the time to try out one of my Christmas gifts by testing Bernard’s famous recipe for atomic chocolate muffins.

As I’ve been given permission to publish the recipe, I’m giving you all the tips you need to make macarons just like the chef! And if you’ve been following my adventures on Instagram, I’ve finally revealed the recipe and method for making the famous ganache that has turned so many heads!
