Mum’s all over Australia are in for a fantastic treat this Mothers’ Day.
The Darrell Lea Mum’s Bag comes full of Darrell Lea’s most popular treats including Batch 37 Soft Eating Licorice, Milk Chocolate Rocklea Road, an Assorted Carton of Milk & Dark Chocolates, Scorched Almonds, Choc Orange Balls, Recipe Cards and a 10% off voucher for Rocklea Road.
It’s a bag full of wonderful that every mum is going to love and at just $25, it’s great value too. Look out for the Darrell Lea Mum’s Bags … on shelves all over Australia just after Easter.
I haven’t exactly tried this exact package, however I have tried all the items that are in it. Darrell Lea are perfect in everyway, their confectionery & chocolate is smooth and tastes like chocolate, not like powdered milk (like some other brands).. We always buy Darrell Lea whenever we can.
Just when you need that chocolate fix because your having a bad day at work, or your pulling all your hair out from the kids constantly yelling at each other… Darrell Lea comes to the rescue… The delicious chocolate that melts in your mouth… The sensation of mmmmm that if you had the choice you would eat the whole container/box. That is what I feel when I have Darrell Lea Chocolate!
ROCKLEA ROAD
Well, well, well….I never knew there was chocolate out there I hadn’t tried…til now! I’m not a fan of marshmellow, so don’t ever buy Rocklea Road (or anything similar), but wow, I think I’ll be adding it to my list. Nothing else to say!
What a fantastic review to be part of, it has been quite a while since I’ve had Darrell Lea chocolate. Firstly I was suprised by how heavy the bag was and that the products were full size, but most of all I had forgotten how good quality the chocolate was. The rocky road and orange choc balls were my favourite. The only thing I would change would be the licorice, I tend to think of it more as a tradtional father’s day item. Overall I think this mother’s day chocolate bag is great value for money.
I really loved my bag of goodies 😉 loved everything in it even the licorice which I’m not a big fan of. I thought for $25 the bag was good value but I would agree with the other mums that if the portions were smaller, and the bag was $20 or even better marketing, $19.95, it might make it even more appealing for the children to get mum. Thank you for including me in this review, the chocolates were superb!
I thought this bag was brilliant there was something for the whole family to enjoy my kids and I went nuts over it,I have to agree that bringing it down to $20.00 would be a good idea and that there should be red licorice instead of the black. I am not a girly girl but something a bit brighter would be good,not the pastel colour that was used.I think it would be more eyecatching that way.overall it was great value for money and the whole family agrees that the chocolate was wonderful.
WOW! As soon as i picked up the Darrell Lea Mum’s bag for 2011….I could smell nothing but ‘DELICIOUS’. I have had a little taste of everything in the bag. The Soft Eating Licorice is to die for. The Milk Chocolate Rocklea Road is big enough to last a week. An Assorted Carton of Milk & Dark Chocolates…yummmo. The Scorched Almonds which i don’t mormally like were devine & the Choc Orange Balls took me back to my childhood memory. This bag of is definitely worth every penny. It would cost almost $40 if bought separately. Every Mum deserves a treat like this once a year.
Well i am a HUGE fan of Darrel Lea! The BAG is GREAT esp when you can share it amongst your family!
The rocky road is “chunky”, however after cooling it in the fridge was easily sliced and served as a treat for am tea.
Price…. hmmm…. I thought the $25 was great value! Looking at the cost of these individually got a big tick of approval from me!!!
Love the nice simple bag however thought this could be smaller!
Overall – thoroughly enjoyed!!!!!!!!
These are some of the best tasting treats I have had in a long while, the licorice in particular is the nicest I have ever tasted. Quality wise it is outstanding. I would have liked to see a bag of Darrell Lea jelly beans or other ‘non-chocolate’ item in there just for variety, maybe instead of the choc orange balls. I think if the bag had one less item and was say $20 I would buy one, it’s the psychology of $25 and spending it on treats that seems like quite a lot.
I got this last mothers day. It was so yummy. I def think it is worth the money, I have always loved Darryl Lee products always had them growing up might be a tad bias but man they make good chocolate products. They have to be one of the best by far. Will def recommend to anyone who asks. Very happy mumma.
Darrell lea has been around for so long and is one of the best chocolates you can get. it has great flavour and a good mix of chocolates for the whole family. The mothers bag has a good range of chocolates to spoil mum with and maybe she will even share them,
I got one of these for mothers day last year and love the variety and flavours in each bag. Such a great idea and i hope they bring them out again this year!
Delicious, Divine, that's Darrell Lea, so glad theyare still around.
Know this post goes back to 2011 but Darrell Lea is the nicest treats around.Love their Mother’s Day Bag and have bought many a bag for my Dad for Father’s Day, the Rocky Road Easter Egg and the Rocky Road container for Christmas is pure Heaven to the taste buds. Glad that they are still around as Australia LoVeS you Darrell Lea. Also wonderful to be able to purchase products in Big W, Woolies and Coles. I am going into Hospital on Monday the day after Mother’s Day so I am thinking a Darrell Lea Bag would go down well and be a delicious treat to eat. yummm.
I know this is an old review but i have recieved this myself over the years as a mothers day present, and i have bought it for my own mum and i have bought the fathers day bags for my dad too!!!! Darrell Lea is always YUMMY, however i think they do charge a bit too much for their gift bags. I would recommend these though as a quick last minute gift 🙂
A great bag full of a great variety of things from a fantastic brand!! It is so good to see they are still producing and selling their product in Australia
My mum loves Darrell lee and this is always a gift that goes along with mums Mother’s Day present. It has a great varity of what mum loves most and there is no left overs that mum dosent like. It’s such an easy but well thought out gift and it’s great to see mums included too
Every year without fail I get my Mum the Darrell Lea bag. She loves it and it never disappoints. we actually get the Father’s Day one too. It’s always a fight for Mum to finish her bag before everyone else helps themselves to it. It’s always in cute packaging too and the taste is always great.
I purchase this every year for my father and father-in-law. They enjoy it and every year I know what I am gifting- it just gets too hard to think of new things! Delicious goodies in a bag… no wrapping required and top quality. I’m so happy to now have this option for the mums too! Thank you!
I absolutely love Darryl Lea , chocolate’s as the have so many varieties and their all fresh that’s the best thing about Darryl lea chocolate’s Great for every occasion, I especially love the fresh licorice and gift box’s filled with assorted chocolates and flavours, such a shame you had sold the business. Where can you buy the chocolates and gift box now?,,
Love Darrell Lea Chocolate and bag too. This perfect idea to buy this bag for Mother day or gift. I think price a bit expensive. We love the chocolate with great taste. Chocolate Orange balls and dark chocolate are my hubby favourite. I will be recommend this Darrell Lea Mum’s bag for family and friends.
I have always loved Darrell lee. it is one shop I have always been able to trust when I am buying a gift or something for a special occasion. their choc is always of the highest quality and has never let me down. I really love the Rocklea road. its something I cant walk past.
I have always loved Darrell lee chocolates and sweets. don’t think they sell anything i don’t like. i buy from them for gifts and special occasions. they always have something yummy and creative. Any excuse to go in to a Darrell lee shop will do. great place to shop for gifts or a treat.
Every year we purchase the darrel lea show bags for my mum and dad for christmas.
We love the chocolate its creamy and very tatsy.
The rockyroad chocolate is the best and we offen find ourself on the hunt for the chocolate bars. They are hard for us to find as we only have one shop we know in adelaide. But we love darrel lea.

‘A Beautiful Adelaide Blend With A Lighter Alcohol Content!’
For lighter wines that still taste like the real deal, Chapel Hill’s Enlightened range is quickly becoming a go-to. These bottles bring all the flavour with noticeably less alcohol, which is why everyone’s falling in love with them.
Best SIPS’ Chapel Hill Enlightened Wines review team put the Rosé and Pinot Grigio through their paces, and the feedback was unanimous: both are fresh, light and perfect for summer sipping without the unwanted morning crogginess.
A rosé with summer written all over it
Chapel Hill’s Enlightened Rosé is bright, crisp and fruity, hitting all the right notes without tipping into the “too sweet” zone. It’s the kind of bottle you reach for at a casual barbecue or any get-together where you want something delicious but easygoing.
It’s exactly this balance of lightness and full flavour in an affordable bottle that has so many fans raving.
“Light, refreshing and honestly just feels like a little moment of peace in a glass. The flavour is this perfect mix of crisp + fruity without being too sweet — literally the kind of rosé you can sip while you finally sit down after a long day.”
A summer staple … on the lighter side
“Too many of these low alcohol wines just don’t taste enough like the real deal-but this is a sure fire exception. Beautifully refreshing, with a touch of sweetness that’s not overwhelming. A gorgeous colour too, which is a bonus- after all, we also drink either our eyes! Add into the mix a reasonable price point- this rose is a winner!”
“I love a nice glass of Rosé and the Chapel Hill Enlightened Rosé did not disappoint! It’s really light and refreshing and tastes like a really expensive wine. I love that this wine is really affordable, so I can enjoy a beautiful Rosé without breaking the bank more often. Definitely give this one a try!”
If your warm-weather wine rack needs an affordable new staple, this is it.
A Pinot Grigio you’ll be buying again (and again!)
For the white lovers, Chapel Hill’s Enlightened Pinot Grigio is a solid everyday white that ticks all the boxes: crisp, clean, food-friendly and affordable.
Our taste-testers repeatedly praised how balanced and versatile it feels, whether chilled on its own or alongside simple meals and casual gatherings.
“We love a white to pair with our spring/summer lunches and especially our seafood. This option ticked all the boxes …”
A versatile sip you’ll keep reaching for
“I enjoyed the first sip to the last of this Pinot. Anything with pear and citrus is something I want to try and this lived up to that, but with a lighter alcohol content – which I appreciate! Enjoyed over dinner, it paired really nicely with the food I was eating. This wine is something I’d happily recommend to others.”
“The wine offered just the right balance of fruity flavours – fresh and vibrant, but never overpowering or too sharp. It paired beautifully with both our light lunches and dinner, making every meal feel a bit more special. I also appreciated how crisp and refreshing it tasted, perfect for unwinding and enjoying good company. Definitely a Pinot Grigio I’d reach for again.”
Your lower-alcohol go-to
The team rates Enlightened wines 4.34 out of 5 and recommends them for anyone on the hunt for flavour-forward wine with less alcohol. They’re bright, modern and made for the kind of moments where you’d love a glass, but still want to feel good afterwards.
The warmer weather tends to make alcohol go to my head faster – I’m not a big drinker, but just for that reason I’d seriously consider a low alcohol wine. The Pinot Grigio particularly sound as if I might enjoy it. I might well buy a bottle or two for Christmas.
Looks delicious, would be keen to try their wines based off the reviews. Love anything local and the light wine is just an extra win – low alcohol content would be fab for nights with friends where we all still have to drive home afterwards so would be buying for that type of event!
Chapel Hill Wines do have quite a good reputation. I like the fact that it is low alcohol content. Personally, I like a very sweet wine but many would like these as they are not so sweet. I wish them well with sales and think it’s good they are doing something about lowering alcohol level.
Thanks for sharing this review. It sounds that the taste is good, the price is good and the alcohol content is really low indeed. I do like the fact that they’re light. One of the things I don’t like when you’re drinking a couple of glasses that it fills you up and it affects your appetite
I just asked the forum for recommendations on zero alcohol, but this is an attractive option as well! I do enjoy a Rose, so will try this one after all the positive reviews. It’s a shame they don’t have a sparkling in their collection yet! Would have been prefect for all the celebrating at this time of year.
I dislike rose, but the pinot grigio sounds like it might suit me. To be honest, the alcohol content doesn’t bother me all that much – I rarely drink more than a glass or two anyway – but it would probably be nice from a general health point of view to know I’m consuming less alcohol.
This sounds like the perfect glass. I do love being able to have a few drinks and not be all over the place about me. And as a bubbly girlie from Adelaide myself, I’m sure I’ll find a lot to like about this drop. Crisp and not too sweet, I’m sold and will have to try it.
It was the first time for me hearing about the chapel hill brand. And i still recall when i picked up the Pinot Grigio from my local, the staff there actually stopped me and said i picked a winner! She said that it was probably the best Pinot they had available to sell.
I’ve heard a lot of good things about Chapel Hill wines and the reviews are always good. I like that they have low alcohol range as I like to have a few glasses when I finally get to have one. Not being too sweet is a bonus that suits me well.
The idea of having a lower alcohol content wine without compromising taste is really exciting. There’s nothing worse than feeling “under the weather” from the effects of alcohol. This lovely wine ticks all the boxes, lower alcohol and a refreshing flavour. I’m keen to get the Pinot Grigio in my cart and into my fridge!
This wine sounds delightful and really refreshing to enjoy on a summer afternoon. I love that it tastes fresh and crisp and still has the same punch as other wine. It sounds like an absolute delight. I will have to give it a try next time i am at the bottle shop looking for some wine.
Mum’s all over Australia are in for a fantastic treat this Mothers’ Day.
