Our story…

It all began in the summer of 2015

A desire for a change in pace and a life-long love of her grandmother’s cooking led burnt-out Melbourne PR executive Greta Donaldson to a new life, and a new business, in Bendigo.

After 20 years in the corporate world working with high-profile clients across media, entertainment, hospitality and lifestyle brands, Greta returned to her regional Victorian hometown in 2015, to be closer to her family.

She was inspired to establish the business after whipping up a batch of peanut brittle for the family Christmas gathering, using a recipe created by her late grandmother, Norma Roulston, from Toolleen near Elmore, (Victoria). The brittle was a huge hit.

Greta tinkered with her grandmother’s recipe to create a finer, more brittle sweet and salty treat. As its popularity grew among friends and family, she began to consider options for sale.

I come from a long line of great cooks, but they would all be laughing in their graves at my success. I burn toast! I was never kitchen bound, although I do like cooking. I’m certainly not a creative cook like the rest of the women in my family.

Greta Donaldson, Confectioner/Founder

Bendigo Brittle was born

Bendigo Brittle has now established a strong following as Greta and a small team of employees, offer her sweet treats from an uber cool confectionery cart at creative, artisan and farmers’ markets around Bendigo and across Victoria.

To meet growing demand, Greta recently relocated the business to a custom-designed commercial kitchen, but it remains a family enterprise with Greta cooking and packaging the brittle alongside her mother Shirley and niece Mikala McNeill.

From its initial offering of a 200g Peanut Brittle pack, Bendigo Brittle has also expanded its range. It now offers a 100g peanut brittle pack, a 400g peanut brittle pack, a 1000g (1KG) peanut brittle pack, as well as a 100g macadamia brittle pack, a 100g cashew brittle pack, a 100g almond brittle pack, a 100g pistachio brittle pack, a 100g chilli peanunt brittle (MILD) pack and a 100g chilli peanunt brittle (HOT) pack. We also make a 100g and a 200g vegan peanut brittle pack, as well as 200g matte black tins in macadamia and peanut.

Throughout the process, Greta has been determined to build and maintain a high-quality brand, sourcing the best local ingredients and supporting local business wherever possible.

“In a time of great global upheaval, I am delighted that Bendigo Brittle is one small thing that is and can become a constant – a small moment of pleasure in people’s daily lives. That in itself makes everything worthwhile.”

Handmade in Bendigo from quality ingredients, including Australian grown nuts - our hugely popular original peanut brittle has become synonymous with our famous gold rush town and now the nation.
