Macadamia Butter Toffee Crunché: The Secret Behind NZ’s Most Addictive Snack

Posted by Lowrey Foods on

Introduction

What if we told you there’s a toffee that’s crunchier than a biscuit, richer than chocolate, and healthier than 90% of supermarket sweets?
Meet Lowrey’s Macadamia Butter Toffee Crunché – the NZ-made snack rewriting the rules of indulgence. With 38% premium macadamias, French caramelization techniques, and 30% less sugar than traditional recipes, this artisanal toffee is turning heads across New Zealand—and now globally.



The Crunch Revolution

Why Texture Wins

If you’re a crunch-lover, this is your dream treat.

  • 38% whole macadamias per batch – shake the pouch and hear the nuts rattle (the industry average is just 15%)

  • Crafted using a French “croquant” technique that creates a honeycomb-like crispness without any jaw-breaking hardness

  • Unlike sticky English toffee or waxy American buttercrunch, our toffee delivers a clean snap thanks to:

    • Precision 300°F caramelization

    • Grass-fed New Zealand butter with higher milk solids

    • 72-hour dehydration to maintain moisture control

💡 Pro Tip: Want an audible crunch? Snap a piece near your ear—you’ll hear the difference.



Healthier Indulgence

Macadamia’s Hidden Perks

Lowrey’s isn’t just another sugar bomb. It’s indulgence with benefits.

  • Each 10g piece contains 1.4g of monounsaturated fats—just like olive oil—giving you heart-healthy, sustained energy

  • 30% less sugar than typical toffees thanks to our unique burnt caramelization process that creates bold flavour without extra sweetness

💡 Pro Tip: Pair with black coffee for a no-crash energy lift that balances caffeine with healthy fats.



The Chef’s Secret

Why French Technique Matters

We take toffee-making seriously—and it shows.

  • Cooked in copper kettles (just like Michelin-star kitchens) for even heat

  • After testing 17 butters, we chose Lewis Road Creamery’s cultured butter for its unbeatable tang and creaminess

  • In a blind taste test against Makana’s brittle, 78% of testers preferred our texture

🧑🍳 Some customers describe it as “crunches like biscotti, melts like fudge.”
