Carobana: The Heart, Soul, and Origin Story

If you want to know a big part of why Krisp N Krunch exists, look no further than Carobana. These guys are the absolute heart of our range, and quite frankly, my personal obsession with their carob products is what started this whole journey. Based in Coffs Harbour, Carobana specialises in that legendary carob range that has a cult following across Australia.

They are the masters of the caffeine-free treat, crafting everything from their famous carob buttons to their "can't-stop-at-one" gluten-free honeycomb. Because Carobana is a dedicated small manufacturer, most of their goodies are hand-made with love. They don’t just churn things out of a factory line; they take the time to get it right. That artisanal, small-batch approach is exactly why we love them.

A Quick Stock Update: The Secret is Out!

As many of of our regular snackers have noticed, our Carobana shelves are looking a bit bare! The secret is out, and they had an incredibly busy Christmas season that cleared them out completely. Being a small, local producer, they are working around the clock to catch up on their hand-crafted carob snacks.

We are working closely with the Carobana team, and while it’s taking a little longer to get our hands on a fresh batch, we are 100% committed to supporting these local Aussie producers. Hang tight—we’ll keep you posted the moment the Extra Sweet Carob range, carob buttons, and GF honeycomb are back where they belong!

The "Don’t Go Hungry" Detour 

While we wait for the Coffs Harbour legends to work their magic (good things take time, right?), we don’t want you left without a premium snack fix!
