I am absolutely in love with amigurumi food right now. It’s ZERO calories and just so much fun.
For those who know me, they know that I love sweets! I love cookies, chocolate, cake, you name it I probably like it. Every night I will usually indulge myself in something sweet.
Lately though, I have been trying to be mindful of what I am eating and have whipped up some alternatives to either snack on or crochet. My favorite sweet snack right now is my homemade ice cream sandwiches. You can find my recipe here.
My favorite crochet sweet treats are my amigurumi macarons. They are soooo easy to whip up it’s addicting! Color combinations are endless. I’ve even caught myself giving them flavors rather than just calling them by their colors… lemon cream, chocolate expresso, lavender lemon…. should I go on?

Amigurumi Macarons
This crochet cookie is made in the round. It is crocheted in two pieces which are then crochet together. These are great scrap busters. They use less than 20 yards of yarn!
