Rum Macaroon with Rum Chocolate Ganache Filling

Look at my feet! (Except they're kinda rough)
Stack of macaroons!

What I think:
After making the amaretti cookies and realizing how similar it is to macaroons, I finally decided to try making them. It was a relatively good success, except only about 1/3 of them was decent. The rest had either a cracked top or no foot. I assembled the good looking ones, using a rum chocolate ganache as the filling. However, the chocolate was slightly too bitter, perhaps because I might've added too much rum. I had too much ganache left and a bunch of broken macaroons. I salvaged them and turned them into chocolate truffle with macaroon bits filling, which turned out amazing. I guess now I know what to do when I failed at making macaroons :)
