Preparation Steps
- Sift together the powdered sugar and almond flour in a large bowl twice to achieve a fine texture.
- Beat room-temperature egg whites until foamy, then add cream of tartar and gradually add granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Add green gel food coloring and fold in the sifted mixture until a smooth batter forms.
- Transfer the batter into a piping bag and pipe tree shapes or circles on lined baking sheets.
- Tap trays firmly on the counter to eliminate air bubbles and let macarons rest at room temperature for 30-60 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C) and bake one tray at a time for 14-16 minutes.
- Cool macarons on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Beat softened unsalted butter until fluffy, then mix in powdered sugar. Add heavy cream, vanilla extract, and crumbled snack cakes.
- Pair similar macarons and pipe filling between them, gently sandwiching together.
- Optional: Melt white chocolate and drizzle over macarons, then sprinkle with red and green sprinkles.

Notes
Keep egg whites at room temperature for better volume. Don't over-mix; resting is crucial for good texture. Use precise measurements for best results.
