Found at Costco: 25 heart-shaped macarons. Hmmm, maybe no further message is necessary. Only at warehouses, not online. / MyLittleBird photo.
OR THERE’S this: A recent sweep through a refrigerated aisle at Costco turned up this box of 25 heart-shaped macarons from Le Chic Patissier in raspberry and vanilla ($12.69). They don’t seem to be on the Costco website, so you’ll have to brave a warehouse to score a box. (If you can go in the middle of the day, do it: I got in and out of there in about 40 minutes on Friday, and that was with lots of browsing, which is, of course, how I noticed the macarons.)
