Try Cheetos Macarons for a Wacky-Flavored Treat

— December 6, 2012 — Lifestyle
Cheetos have long been known as a favorite finger food of the so called "couch potatoes" of the world, and macarons have more recently gained popularity at brunches and dinner parties, which makes the Cheetos Macarons the perfect in-between snack.

This cheesy-flavored pastry was invented by Simon Tung and Christina Ha, the owners of New York's Macaron Parlour. They originally brought it out as a Halloween-themed dessert, but the unexpected mixture of sweet and the salty Cheetos dust on top has made this treat a fast favorite. This venture into bizarre and experimental flavors has proved to be successful for the bakery as customers love getting those special treats they can't find anywhere else.

For a truly exclusive flavor experience, try the cheesy, yet delicate taste of the Cheetos Macarons.
Trend Themes
1. Experimental Flavored Treats - Creating unique and unexpected flavors in food products can attract customers who are looking for novelty and exclusivity.
2. Hybrid Snacks - Combining two different types of snacks, such as sweet pastries and salty chips, can create new and exciting taste experiences that appeal to adventurous eaters.
3. Brunch Desserts - Developing pastries and desserts that are specifically designed for brunch occasions can tap into the growing trend of brunching and offer a unique twist on traditional sweets.
Industry Implications
1. Bakery - Bakeries can explore the creation of experimental flavored treats to differentiate themselves and attract customers looking for unique culinary experiences.
2. Snack Foods - Snack food companies can develop hybrid snacks that combine contrasting flavors and textures to cater to consumers seeking innovative and exciting snacks.
3. Food Service - Restaurants and cafes can incorporate brunch desserts, such as the Cheetos Macarons, into their menus to appeal to the brunch culture and offer a distinctive twist on traditional desserts.
