Darl Bars - MISTAKE EDITION Lemon & Macadamia

These bars have a more subtle lemon flavour than our regular Lemon Macadamia Darl Bars. On a recent bake, everything was going well until these bars came out of the oven. The lemon aroma seemed unusually faint.

Then I realised that I only added 20% of the lemon oil I was supposed to.

I hate it when I make mistakes, but when we tasted them, a few of us actually preferred them this way. The lemon is more subtle which means you really get the flavours of the toasted macadamias.

I couldn’t in good conscience sell them as regular Lemon Macadamia, so we’re selling them at 20% off to match the 20% lemon oil situation.

If you love macadamias, you’ll probably love these.

Story

Tuesday morning at 7:45 is the most important time of my week. It’s when I arrive at our kitchen to spend the day making Darl Bars. I bake in small batches so our bars are always fresh. The kitchen is located 30 minutes inland of Byron Bay in the Northern Rivers hinterland and is surrounded by macadamia farms. I like how the macadamia oil we use in our recipes is made from many of the macadamias harvested from the farms surrounding our kitchen.

As I tip the ingredients into the mixer, the room fills with the aromas of pecans which I source from Australian farmers in northern VIC. As the mixer does its thing, I get my equipment ready. I make everything by hand, so my main tools are a rolling pin and a cutting knife. I crank up my favourite 70’s hits playlist and begin rolling, cutting, baking and packing the days Darl Bars.

It took me 212 experiments to perfect our Caramel Pecan recipe and at each bake I can make precisely 1626 bars. Making them by hand means that each one is a slightly different shape and size, which I think adds to their charm.
