Macadamia Chocolate Wafers
I did not realise that Australia is the leading producer of macadamia nuts in the world contributing 30% of the global crop, exporting about 70% of its crop to all over the world, but still with its biggest market in Australia. I did know we love our nuts down under...but make sure you check the source of your macadamias when shopping, Aussie grown nuts are definitely superior in taste and quality and the industry has a firm commitment to sustainability for the macadamia growers of the future. (Love an Aussie success story don’t you??)
Anyway, these wafers are a bit of a success story as well. Your house will smell divine when they are baking. I used the amazing Honey for Life honey, which definitely has its advantages in flavour...so source the best ingredients you can. Your tastebuds will thank you.
Enjoy.

Need
- 170 Grams honey
- 100 Grams butter BUY
- 1 Teaspoon vanilla bean paste BUY
- 100 Grams raw caster sugar BUY
- 2 egg whites
- 75 Grams plain flour BUY
- 1 Handful macadamias, roasted but unsalted
- 1 Handful chocolate dark callets BUY
Do
- 1
Preheat oven to 160°C (fan forced) and line 4 large flat trays with baking paper. Set aside.
- 2
Place honey, butter and vanilla into Thermomix bowl and melt 5 min/50°C/speed 2.
- 3
Add sugar, egg whites and flour and blend 5 sec/speed 5. Scrape down any remaining flour from sides of bowl and incorporate using your spatula.
- 4
Spread the mixture, dividing between the 4 trays equally and spread to a rectangular shape with spatula. The thinner you make it the better, the more crunchy and the more wafer real estate you have for nuts and chocolate!
- 5
Sprinkle generously with chopped macadamias and chocolate.
- 6
Cook 20-30 minutes or until dark golden and centre is set. This will vary from oven to oven and you should watch it carefully. It is ready when the centre is set and the colour is as dark as you dare!! Only cook two trays at a time and turn trays half way through if needed.
- 7
Cool on trays completely before breaking into pieces. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for best crunch factor!
