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.  

Darl Bars will help you feel energised and nourished, especially when you’re craving something a little bit sweet. They’re the perfect healthy treat for mid-afternoon munchies or a hungry belly that needs a snack on the go.

We make them by hand in our Byron Bay bakehouse using Australian ingredients like pecans, pumpkin seeds and macadamia oil. We then add a touch of brown rice syrup and bake till they’re crunchy, chewy and a tiny bit sweet.

Enjoy with a cuppa, on the road, in lunchboxes or as a healthy snack. Try Darl Bars and ban boring snacking from your life forever!

Our pecan flour is milled in country Victoria from Australian pecans. It creates a caramely, nutty flavour unlike anything you've ever tasted.
