Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- In a mixing bowl, whip room temperature egg whites until foamy, gradually add granulated sugar, and whip until stiff peaks form.
- Sift together almond flour and powdered sugar to eliminate lumps and set aside.
- Gently fold the dry mixture into the whipped egg whites until a 'lava-like' consistency is achieved.
- Pipe 1.5-inch circles onto the prepared sheets, spacing them evenly.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until firm to the touch, then cool completely on the sheets.
- Pair similar-sized macaron shells, fill with orange blossom cream, and decorate with melted black candy melts to form spider legs.

Notes
Ensure all equipment is clean and dry to achieve the best volume when whipping egg whites. Store finished macarons in an airtight container for up to a week in the fridge.
