Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- Sift together the powdered sugar and almond flour into a mixing bowl, repeating this process twice for a smooth texture.
- In a clean mixing bowl, add room-temperature egg whites and beat on medium speed until foamy, about 1-2 minutes.
- Gradually sprinkle in the granulated sugar and whip until stiff peaks form, about 5-7 minutes.
- Gently incorporate the green gel food coloring using a spatula for a smooth blend.
- Slowly fold the sifted almond flour and powdered sugar mixture into the whipped egg whites until the batter flows smoothly.
- Transfer the macaron batter into a piping bag fitted with a round tip and pipe tree shapes or circles onto prepared baking sheets.
- Let the piped macarons rest at room temperature for 30-60 minutes.
- Place the trays in the oven and bake for 14-16 minutes, rotating halfway through.
- Allow the macarons to cool completely on the mats before removing them.
- Beat softened unsalted butter until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Mix in powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
- Fold in the crumbled snack cakes into the filling mixture.
- Pair similar-sized macaron shells together and pipe a dollop of filling onto one half. Sandwich with the other shell.
- Melt white chocolate and drizzle over macarons; sprinkle with edible decorations if desired.
- Store assembled macarons in an airtight container in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before serving for best flavor.

Notes
Ensure egg whites are at room temperature for best results. Sift ingredients twice for smooth shells and monitor baking closely to maintain color.
