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!
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.
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.

‘I Grabbed My Car Keys And RAN!’ The New Supermarket Bread Everyone’s Talking About
Mum-of-two Rebecca McCracken has spent the last four years reading ingredient lists on pretty much everything she buys at the supermarket.
Like many parents raising kids with food allergies, a quick trip to the supermarket often means checking labels, comparing products and hoping to find something the whole family can eat.
Bec’s four-year-old son and 17-month-old daughter were both born with cow’s milk protein allergy. While her son has since outgrown his allergies, her toddler still reacts to dairy, making even everyday staples like bread a challenge.
“Unless we buy expensive sourdough for seven or eight dollars, we don’t really have a choice.”
Even then, it’s not ideal.
“A kid doesn’t want to eat a sourdough sandwich,” Bec laughs. “And fairy bread on sourdough is not great.”
A New Loaf On The Block
Bec runs an online community for allergy families, so she spends plenty of time sharing recipes, product finds and supermarket discoveries with other parents.
It was one of those parents who first told her about new JUST bread.
“A follower messaged me and said, ‘Oh my gosh, this bread is coming soon.’ I was like, ‘Where? When? I need to know. I’m getting my car keys and running!'”
Made with baker’s flour, water, yeast, vinegar, oil and salt, JUST bread contains no artificial preservatives, flavours or colours.
For Bec, it sounded almost too good to be true. “When we saw JUST bread, I was like, ‘You’re joking.’ A bread that’s fresh baked but in the bread aisle? That’s unheard of for us.”
“It was really exciting for our family and for the allergy community.”
The Family’s Toughest Critic Approved
Of course, there was one person whose opinion mattered more than anyone else’s.
“My toughest critic is my daughter. She is so fussy. We know something is really good if she approves it, and she approves it. She loves it. She’ll eat it plain, toasted, as French toast … whatever. She loves it.”
Bec says she was impressed too.
“I like it. I like that it’s only got minimal ingredients and doesn’t have the additives and preservatives that are in a lot of other brands.”
A Simpler Option For Everyday Families
Bec tried out JUST bread because of her family’s allergies, but she says it has a broader appeal.
“I think everyone is becoming more conscious of additives and preservatives in their food.”
It’s a feeling many of us can probably relate to. We don’t all want to overhaul the way we eat, but plenty of us are paying a little more attention to ingredient lists and looking for products that keep things simple.
Bread is one of those foods that’s always around. It ends up in lunchboxes, on the breakfast table, alongside soup on a cold night and covered in hundreds and thousands at birthday parties. When we eat something that often, it’s only natural to wonder what’s in it.
JUST bread keeps things simple with a handful of pantry ingredients and no artificial preservatives, flavours or colours. It’s the sort of loaf that fits easily into busy family life without asking us to compromise on taste or convenience.
Little Changes, Big Difference
For Bec, finding a loaf of bread her whole family can enjoy is about more than ticking another item off the shopping list.
“It seems like such a little thing to the normal community, but for us this is a massive win.”
Being able to make sandwiches without worrying about ingredients. Packing lunchboxes a little more easily. Bringing back fairy bread for birthdays. Sometimes it’s the little things that make family life feel a whole lot simpler.
And while Bec found JUST bread because she needed another allergy-friendly option, its simple ingredient list is likely to appeal to plenty of other families too. After all, when we can choose everyday foods made with ingredients we recognise, that’s a pretty good place to start.
JUST Bread is made on a line that also processes soy and sesame.
Mouths of Mums is proudly working with JUST. to bring you this article. JUST bread is made with just a handful of pantry ingredients. JUST. The Good Stuff.
I am so glad to hear about this and will definitely be on a look out for this in the supermarket. I have noticed that there are starting to be more ‘cleaner’ products in the supermarket, meaning consumers are being heard. We are going full circle back to how foods use to be produced before companies got greedy and started taking shortcuts to producing food items. I hope we continue seeing more preservative and additive free options that are affordable come back in the supermarkets.

Grabbing your car keys and running for a bread ?? I can’t imagine doing so for a bread lol ! It’s nice to see that more and more allergy friendly products are being produced and put on the market.
I don’t agree with the statement that “A kid doesn’t want to eat a sourdough sandwich”. It depends on what type of bread you introduce to your kids. My kids grew up with 7 seeds, rustic bread and sourdough and they love it. It’s also quite easy and cheap to make sourdough bread yourself.
I haven’t seen this bread in the supermarket but will be looking for it now. I have been trying to avoid preservatives and additives for some time now and as highlighted in the article bread it difficult to find, or super expensive, without them so I don’t have it often.
This is fantastic, finally a bread that is not full of nasty stuff. I will be going straight out to buy this. My son has ARFID and will only eat white bread, but it’s not terribly healthy. With this bread, at least I know that it is much healthier than the alternatives. Woohoo
I cant wait to give this bread a go (so far its always been sold out at my local woolies so it must be good). So good its suitable for those with allergies too. I think nowadays were all looking for cleaner options of ingredients in our foods so this is a step in the right direction.
I am glad more and more allergy friendly products are being produced and offered. I don’t agree with Bec’s statement that kids don’t like sourdough bread. My kids were introduced to sourdough and the most rustic and seeded breads from the time they started to eat bread, and they love it
Oh I cannot wait to try this bread! We go through that much bread each week and I always feel so guilty with how much my kids have – not anymore! Would love to see them introduce other variants in the future – multigrain and gluten free would be superb!
This is such a great product that I’m looking forward to trying! I’ve only been buying bread from bakeries the last few years because grocery store bread texture was so dense and unpleasant. But the hassle with bakery bread is I can’t get it everywhere! I’ll be really keen to give this a go
Mum’s all over Australia are in for a fantastic treat this Mothers’ Day.

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!!!!!!!!
