Traditional Scottish Macaroon Bar 🥥🍫
A Scottish Macaroon Bar is a perfect balance of sweet, creamy coconut filling, coated in rich chocolate and dusted with toasted coconut flakes. This no-bake treat is a nostalgic favourite in Scotland, often found in sweet shops. The coconut centre is soft and fluffy, while the chocolate coating adds the perfect indulgent touch.
