Nosh Pit's Detroit Chocolate Coconut Macaroons

Food trucks have come a long way in recent years, and now offer everything from sushi to Tex Mex. One great option here in Detroit is Nosh Pit, which delivers some serious flavor to its vegetarian cuisine.

The owners joined us in the FOX 2 Cooking School to tell us more about their food, and to share a recipe with us. You can get their macaroon recipe below.
