These were a bit too dry for my taste, but they were still good.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but these macaroon kisses were still really good. The chocolate ganache really balanced out the sweetness of the coconut.

I had a hard time getting the macaroons to form kisses. They kept spreading out on the baking sheet.
