Popular macaron flavors like vanilla, chocolate and salted caramel are widely enjoyed but Heinz teamed up with macaron maker Fauchon to create the first-ever Tomacaron, challenging traditional sweet preferences. This creation merges Fauchon's world-renowned macaron recipe with the taste of Heinz Tomato Ketchup. As the partnering brands describe, "sauce superfans can expect to fall in love at first bite with flavors of delicate, sweet red berries; earthy and floral rhubarb and punchy ginger, combined and paired perfectly with the bright, tangy, and iconic Heinz Tomato Ketchup."
Created for Valentine's Day, the first-ever Tomacaron was packaged into a co-branded boxed set for gifting, sharing or solo snacking. Just 57 boxes were made available and those who wanted to taste Tomacaron got to book a Tomacaron and Cocktail l'Inattendu experience at Grand Café FAUCHON.
