Macaron or Marsh Mellow?

These things turned out a little more mutated than anything that resembled something like a macaron. Something did not go right during the making of it I believe.

 They almost look like marsh mellows sandwiched together.

Nevertheless the taste was there, still sweet, crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside.

 But I still wonder what went wrong...
