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.

“My Floor Has Never Been So Clean”: The Mop That’s Winning Over Mums
Mopping isn’t exactly the chore most of us look forward to, but like most mums, for Katrina Macilroy, it’s unavoidable.
With three teenagers, a husband, a dog, two cats and timber flooring throughout most of her home, there’s plenty to keep her mop busy.
“I thought the toddler stage was hard, but teenagers take it to a whole other level,” Katrina told Mouths of Mums.
She describes herself as a ‘full-time Uber driver’ for her three kids, but when she’s home, she may as well be a full-time cleaner.
Her husband is a concreter, the family has plenty of sand coming inside and, with teenagers touching everything, the floors quickly show the evidence of a full family life.
“I have to mop like every second day because the floor gets marks,” she said.
So when Katrina was given the chance to try the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO Mop & Bucket Set, she was keen to see whether it could actually make one of her least favourite cleaning tasks any easier.
“I didn’t have high hopes for it to start with, because I’ve used spin mops before and I’d been disappointed,” she admitted.
But it didn’t take long for her to change her mind. One of the first things Katrina noticed was just how easy the mop was to use.
The foot pedal made wringing the mop quick and simple, without having to stop and fiddle with anything.
“It was so easy to spin it,” she says. “It wasn’t like you’re spinning it for hours or anything.”
She was also impressed by how quickly the mop itself could be put together, and the simple button that releases the mop head for washing.
“That simple press notion, everyone can do that. So I love that.”
It’s The Little Things That Add Up
For Katrina, who regularly finds herself cleaning up after a busy family, these little details made a surprisingly big difference. She also loved the triangular mop head, particularly when it came to getting into the corners and edges that her previous mop struggled with.
“The triangle design makes it easy to get into all the little corners,” she says.
But ultimately, the big question was whether it actually cleaned her floors. Katrina’s answer was an enthusiastic yes.
“My floor has never been so clean,” she says.
Katrina was also surprised by how light and manoeuvrable the mop felt, because at just 4’11”, she says mopping can sometimes be an uncomfortable job.
“I’m not a tall person, so trying to mop is always just a horrible experience.”
But she found the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO Mop & Bucket Set easy to move around and able to go in different directions without feeling heavy or awkward.
And it wasn’t just the mop itself that won Katrina over. She says the bucket design solved one of her biggest mopping frustrations: accidentally tipping the bucket over.
With timber floors, getting too much water onto the floor is something she tries hard to avoid. “The amount of mop buckets I’ve tipped over and just gone everywhere,” she says.
That can turn a simple cleaning job into another mess to deal with, particularly when you’re suddenly scrambling for towels and a dry mop head.
But Katrina says the Vileda bucket feels much more stable because of its design.
And for someone who mops as often as she does, she says that has saved her time. “This thing has saved me so much time, I can’t get over it.”
The Only Mop You’ll Need
Katrina also admits that she’d previously convinced herself she needed a steam mop. She even bought one, only to discover that plugging it in every time she wanted to clean wasn’t exactly appealing.
“You have to plug it in like a vacuum. Like, that’s not fun, I don’t want to do that.”
After trying the Vileda, she says she’s no longer convinced she needs one.
“Why do you need a steam mop when you can get this one?”
For Katrina, the combination of being lightweight, easy to wring, simple to manoeuvre and able to get into those awkward corners has made mopping feel much less frustrating. And despite going into the trial with low expectations, she’s now very happy to recommend it.
“I’m not trying to sell you a product, but I’m just saying that I’m very impressed with it. It’s really good.”
Her final verdict?
“It’s been really, really good. Recommend!”
This Real Story was provided as part of a paid sponsorship opportunity. Katrina was chosen to share her story because she was sent out and tried the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO Mop & Bucket Set, and genuinely loved it! And Vileda is so confident they’ve made the best spin mop ever, they’re backing the new & improved Easy Wring & Clean TURBO with a 5 Year Guarantee.
This mop so good and the views all are positive so I just purchased one on milkrun through Woolworths and it come with 2 mop head refills. Can’t wait to use it.
Yes, I couldn’t agree more. The Vileda spin mop is by far my favourite mop for a good thorough clean at home. I even got the landlords to purchase one for the holiday house I clean to make cleaning a breeze and get the job done properly. I always grab a spare when they’re out for half price.
Ah, I received a ‘you’re a finalist’ email from MoM for this fantastic mop but didn’t receive anything beyond that. I was looking forward to giving this a try to compare the three existing options I have but alas. Looks good, fingers crossed I can try it in the near future!
Omg! Yes! With 4 dogs and 4 teens AND the guests they bring home with them LOL our timber floors and tiles don’t stand a chance! I would love to see them add some wheels to the bottom of the bucket so that you don’t have to carry the bucket around with you.
This sounds like an excellent mop that makes cleaning so easy! I love a product that not only is as effective as advertised but makes a job less grueling. I gotta say though, a steam mop that plugs in sounds like an awful idea. I have a tineco floor mop, which is cordless and charges at a base, and it’s incredible on my white tiles.
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!
