Meringue Preparation
- Sift powdered sugar and almond flour together in a large bowl twice to ensure a smooth mixture.

- Fold in green gel food coloring gently into the meringue.
Batter Preparation
- Carefully fold the sifted almond flour mixture into the meringue until a flowing batter forms.
- Pipe tree shapes or circles of about 1.5 inches in diameter on lined baking sheets.
- Let piped macarons rest at room temperature for 30-60 minutes.
Baking and Cooling
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and bake macarons for 14-16 minutes, rotating trays halfway.
- Allow macarons to cool on baking sheets for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Filling and Assembly
- Beat softened butter in a bowl until fluffy, then gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, heavy cream, and salt. Fold in crumbled snack cakes.

Notes
For best results, ensure your egg whites are at room temperature and do not skip the resting phase before baking.
