Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a bowl, mix almond flour and powdered sugar.
In a separate bowl, whip egg whites until soft peaks form, gradually adding granulated sugar until glossy.
Add green gel food coloring and mix gently.
Fold the almond flour mixture into the egg whites until fully incorporated.
Pipe shamrock shapes onto a baking sheet using a template.
Tap the baking sheet to release air bubbles and let the macarons rest for 30 minutes.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until set. Let cool.
Melt hard candies and piped into the macaron shells for a stained-glass effect.
Decorate with edible gold dust after baked macarons have cooled.

Ensure to use gel food coloring for a vibrant color. Storing unfilled shells in an airtight container preserves their texture.
