    Bakers throughout Scotland sell an assortment of macaroon cakes made from coconut. It is possible to buy the sweetie macaroon bars from online retro sweet shops. Lees macaroon bars are popular in shops and in some regions The Toffee Man franchise of door to door selling sweets still sell Scottish macaroon bars.
