\u201cAt Bendigo Brittle we try and keep it as local as we can – supporting local businesses, local charities, local workers with product and our custom.\u201d<\/p>\n
One particular highlight over the journey for Ms Donaldson has been that Bendigo Brittle is, \u201cstill in business post COVID-19, and that we have actually grown our stockists during this stressful and uncertain time.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery time someone contacts me wanting to stock our brittle in their business is also a highlight for me,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis includes being taken-on by Ritchies and IGA Supermarkets stores across Victoria, and also by Bowser Bean Cafes across Victoria and New South Wales at 20 Vantage Fuels Service Stations in total.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlus, being able to include the world\u2019s best nuts in our brittle – Australian peanuts, macadamia, almonds and now pistachios.\u201d<\/p>\n
The close-knit team, which includes Ms Donaldson mum Shirley and niece Mikala, last year shifted operations to a full-blown, custom-designed commercial kitchen.<\/p>\n
Located on the Bendigo CBD fringe, where their Peanut Brittle, Pistachio Brittle, Macadamia Brittle, Cashew Brittle, Almond Brittle and Vegan Peanut Brittle, not to mention their recently launched 50-gram bonbonniere packs for weddings, is cooked and packaged.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll find all of these treats at more than 30 shops and venues around Bendigo alone, as well as all across Victoria and the rest of Australia.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn a time of great global upheaval, I am delighted that Bendigo Brittle is one small thing that is and can become a constant \u2013 a small moment of pleasure in people\u2019s daily lives,\u201d Ms Donaldson said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat in itself makes everything worthwhile.\u201d<\/p>\n
