That Easter nougat egg has got to be smaller!

published

Ok so even against the picture on the box let alone my surprise when getting the 2020 nougat egg out of the box for my son, this seasons egg has got to be smaller than years gone by! It’s actually a flat oval shape and ie reckon only three quarter the size. Can someone confirm this and if true Darrell Lea are dumb

Darrell Lea Liquorice Ice Cream Unpleasant grainy

published

Not at all creamy as advertised. A very grainy product totally overpriced at $9.80 for a tiny tub. I will not buy again. I searched several stores before I found a foodland store in Adelaide that stocked this product. I felt this was a waste of my time and money as it turned out. So sad as I have had other brands of liquorice ice cream that are amazing and very creamy.

Good for a top up if your favs are out of stock without disappointment: )

published

As our alternate to another boutique chocolate brand, we weren’t dissatisfied with this product, as addictive as our usual high end brand! We get a better deal as grams are concerned with our usual brand but no issues with this one - about $0.16 a bullet ain’t too bad really- the coating on these is less than our usual brand per bullet and the quality of the chocolate pretty typical for a mass produced product!



Good to have as a top up in case your favourite brand is unavailable 7/10

Darrell Lea Raspberry Twists

published

These smell like nail polish & have a plastic taste. Just horrible - couldn’t eat another one, whole packet was binned. When Darrell Lea sold them in store years ago they were delicious. I’m not sure what’s happened. Very disappointed.

My orange balls are no longer the same

published

I have been enjoying the Orange balls for years and am now finding they are getting smaller and the taste has changed. Why do manufactures change a good and enjoyable product to something of less quality? Is it to save money or do they think they have a better product by doing this

LICORICE ALLSAMES NOT ALLSORTS

published

Bought Darryl Lea Licorice Allsorts for Christmas treat. What a disappointment. I thought I was eating coconut ice with licorice. I peeled the layers apart (as you must) and found that all colours taste the same, oversweet and like coconut. If you're expecting allsorts of flavours you'll be very disappointed. Green used to taste like lime etc etc. No longer. Now LICORICE ALLSAME. I won't be buying again.

What has happened to the Allsorts. Christmas officially ruined.

published

Darrel Lea licorice allsorts have been ruined. Why are the licorice strips so small now? This is a product for licorice lovers! There used to be a good mix of colours too but now they are in single colour blocks and way too sweet. Very disappointed dl.

What's happening? Why change choc bullets?

published

The recent choc bullets are very different. The licorice is bigger and chewy which some may enjoy but I liked the chocolate and licorice to be a perfect match and end at the same time. I can't be chewing licorice for 60 seconds after my choccy is gone. I am devastated.

Blocks loaded with filling inside!

published

I think the Darrell lea chocolate blocks are great!! The chocolate is a different taste to lindt or Cadbury etc and is the milk chocolate is prehaps less creamy in texture but is still smooth in the mouth. The dark chocolate is silky and not a dark dark chocolate. What I really like about these blocks is the abundance of filling inside! For each flavour, be it rocky road or peanut brittle etc, you will get more fillling ingredients than chocolate. So I think that is a massive point of difference between Darrell Lea and other brands. Thses blocks are delicous, different and worth a try!!

Not happy with the blocks but the balls are good.

published

Rocky Road is not good, chocolate low grade and does not melt in mouth like Cadbury, also marshmallow sticking out the back of chocolate instead of inside. Their orange balls and mint balls are yummy though.

Still has the same taste I remember as a kid. The rocky road is still one of the best and the peanut brittle is to die for! Peanut clusters are addictive an you cant help but demolish the whole packet :)

So disappointed with the taste and texture of Batch 37 licorice. Texture is strangely rubbery and there is very little taste. It used to be so good. Please bring back its original form

Sounds like you purchased the Chinese made Darrell Lea bullets. Try Coles Australian made bullets which are much better and cheaper.

I love them. Purchased the 750gm packets when they were on special.
Their labels clearly state Made in Australia.
Anyway I dont understand. How would the public know if the recipe has changed?
