When my sister and I were little, my grandma would always buy us each a box of Cadbury Roses Chocolates during the end of year school holidays. This box of chocolates became the most cherished thing in our possession.

We’d meticulously plan the order we’d eat them in, then enter into intense negotiations where we’d trade flavours until we each had as many of our favourites as possible. For me, there was once flavour more coveted than all the others: Dark Chocolate & Orange.

This week I decided to pay tribute to it with a Limited Edition Dark Chocolate Hazelnut & Orange Darl Bar. I found an Australian Cold Pressed Orange Oil that creates just the right of flavour to contrast the Belgian Dark Chocolate.

As I got older, I started buying boxes of Roses myself, which meant I could have all the Dark Chocolate Orange ones I wanted. But this seemed to take away the magic. When there was no waiting, saving or negotiating involved, they didn’t taste quite as special.

I won't be making that mistake with these, so we’ve only made a small batch. Once they’re gone, that’s it.

Hopefully that will make the last one in your packet just a little bit more special.

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 aroma of hazelnuts, 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 187 experiments to perfect our Dark Chocolate & Hazelnut 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.
