These Baskin-Robbins macarons are being debuted in Japan at Family Mart locations to provide customers with a way to enjoy the signature flavor of the brand's ice cream in an alternative format. The macarons come in two flavor options including Caramel Ribbon and Love Potion #31, which each come in individual packets with two servings in each. The Caramel Ribbon macarons have a vanilla cream and caramel sauce sandwiched between caramel-flavored cookies, while the Love Potion #31 has one with raspberry cream filling and another with white chocolate.
The Baskin-Robbins macarons are currently available at Family Marts locations in eastern Japan with additional branches on the western side of the country slated to start stocking them on March 26, 2024. The macarons are priced at 280 yen per pack.
