Something familiar? Haha yes! this is Ferrero Rocher's Christmas edition container that I got from Sinterklaas last Dec 6.
The Sinterklaas feast celebrates the name day, Dec 6, of the Saint Nicholas (280–342), patron saint of children. Saint Nicholas was a Greek bishop of Myra in present-day Turkey.He is a dutch version of Santa Clause but taller and slim.

Children in their Zwarte Pieten costume while patiently waiting for Sinterklaas to arrive.
Zwarte Pieten are giving away candies and
pepernoten to kids and adults.
There's my big boy Pieter.
Back to my macarons. These are unfilled shells. Actually I made a macaron template which is the same size as ferrero rocher chocolate but after piping, the batter spread out and became too big for the holes. That is why I left them unfilled because if I do so it won't fit in the holes anymore.
