A while back I was introduced to Mrs Crimble's Chocolate Orange macaroons which were utterly delicious. Lovely flavour, moist texture and don't leave you covered in crumbs. Now Mrs Crimbles has brought out a new look and a new taste.

Large Cranberry Macaroons - Mmmcranberry!

They're labelled as "large", and they're certainly bigger than the chocolate orange ones but I wouldn't call them large in isolation; I'd expect them to be the size of those big cookies you get in bakeries. Anyway, that's a nit-picky point and I think Mrs Crimbles has really done it again; these are utterly delicious.
As with the chocolate orange macaroons, the initial hit you get is of sweet, moist coconut as you'd want from a good macaroon. The next delightful flavour you get is of cranberries but they're not scarily tangy, they're more like raspberry jam. So the overall effect is very much like a Bakewell tart. So, with a mug of tea, it's like having a Bakewell tart but without all the heavy icing that comes with a Bakewell tart. And I really like it.
On balance, given the "no"s are important ones but there are a lot of "tick"s, I think these would be best kept to one or two on a long ride to help with variety in flavour and texture. These macaroons are very nice and I really like them; more than the chocolate orange version.
(As a bonus, they're gluten free for those who have difficulties and preferences that way.)
