- Why did the tops crack?
- You didn't let them rest enough before baking, so the protective 'skin' didn't form, or your oven was too hot.

Instructions
Sift the almond flour and confectioners' sugar together. Discard any large pieces.
Whip the egg whites, gradually adding the granulated sugar, until you get a glossy, very stiff meringue.
Fold the almond mixture into the meringue (macaronage). It's ready when the batter flows off the spatula like lava or a ribbon.
Pipe discs onto the baking sheet, tap the sheet against the table (to release air bubbles), then let stand for 30 minutes until the top is matte and not sticky to the touch.
Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 12-15 minutes. Let cool completely on the paper.
Ganache: Bring the cream to a boil, pour over the chocolate and peanut butter, and mix until smooth. Chill until spreadable.
Fill the macarons: pipe a ring of cream, place a dot of caramel and peanut in the center.
