Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line an AirBake insulated baking pan with parchment paper.

- In another bowl, whip egg whites until foamy; add cream of tartar and gradually incorporate granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the whipped egg whites until just combined.
- Transfer the batter to a piping bag and pipe small circles onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space in between.
- Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until macarons have risen and formed feet.
- Meanwhile, heat heavy cream in a saucepan until just boiling; pour over chopped milk chocolate. Wait for a minute before stirring until smooth, then mix in Nutella and butter.
