Makes ~100, depending on the size you make them.

- Ingredients
   + 7-8 egg whites
       * Note: The size of the eggs is fairly important here. If you
         use too much egg white, the macaroons will become very flat
         when baking them.
   + 500g sugar
   + 500g ground almonds
   + 300g grated chocolate
       * Note: I always use dark chocolate because the macaroons are
         already sweet enough anyways.
   + 45mL lemon juice
- Instructions
   + Stir egg whites together with sugar (but don't beat the egg whites).
   + Stir in the lemon juice.
   + Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
