The green colour and the ticks mean you know it's good for you.
The Black Forest variety has that really old school medicine flavour, don't go for it unless you like that sort of thing. My family wouldn't finish it.
Don’t threaten me with a good time
It’s my favourite block for this exact reason.
Dingleberry likely doesn’t want this block to sell out. Smarts.
My fam bam all say that this chocolate is 'waxy'. I personally don't care much for it, but don't understand what 'waxy' means.
Anyone else have this opinion?
I get what they mean. The Darrell Lea chocolate looks kind of plasticy/siliconey; it looks almost as if you could bend it and has a slight soft touch to the outside, along with that shiny/waxy apprearance. It's not too bad once you bite into it, but I can only speak for the dark chocolate liquorice block. I'd still pick Darrell Lea over Cadbury, but generally I would avoid Darrell Lea for better options - especially because DL don't offer 70%+ dark chocolate, only ~50% dark, which means ~50% sugar. I can hardly take a chocolate seriously when their first listed ingredient is sugar instead of chocolate…
I believe the Aldi ones are a better value for money and nutrition and I know how much cocoa is in their dark chocolate.
Go for the Rock Lea Road. It is a pity they stopped doing the dark chocolate version.
My favourite is the Rocklea Road slab
My favourite is the VB slab
VB, he’ll no. Although I did like they created an England Bitter and sent a slab to the Pommy cricket team after Australia retained the Ashes.

Ha ha, didn't know that. England were clearly the better side overall though, esp after the W triplets (Woods, Woakes and wickets) got a run.
Childhood memories are of getting the RockLea Road as a treat if my parents went to Melbourne.
57% carbs
30% fatWhat is the other 13% ?
This is going to blow your mind but there are some ingredients that don't have macros that add up to 100% (e.g. water)
😲
You missed protein but the other missing component is water as Random guy suggested. Per 100g / by mass is not the way to calculate % as not all ingredients are listed within the break-down of macro nutrients.
Per 100g / by mass is not the way to calculate % as not all ingredients
why?
It caught me out too tbh. Nutrients per 100g, where water is 10g, there are no (Carb/fat/protein) nutrients to list. Therefore the remainder will show up to the remainder weight e.g. 90g. Since weight/amount of water isn't listed, we can only make assumptions about % of specific nutrients.
Neither carbs nor fat?
✔️ Made in Australia
✔️ Not Nestlé
✔️ Not CadburyThe only chocolate worth buying other than the aldi store brand ones
Upvoted for another 3 ticks!
My preferred choice but find it frustrating how they keep deprecating the best flavours (caramel craving and hokey pokey)

Drop the "L"?
I usually love everything cookies and cream, but found this brand disappointing. Way too sweet, the cookies were crumbed too small, and I wasn't a fan of the marshmallows.
The dark chocolate is good and the dark chocolate mint is excellent.
Just curious, since you mentioned it op, which other brands/chocolate is better than DL? There's lindt imo
From Coles/Woolies, I also buy Lindt, Ferrero and Toblerone
Yeah for supermarket brands, Lindt, whittakers, Aldi. Not a fan of Cadbury (still eat it though). I just mentioned it because every time I post a chocolate deal someone goes “oh no! Sugar, sugar bad” (like der, obviously, but also obviously most of us are still eating it) or “this isn’t good chocolate, I only eat organic chocolate, hand ground, sun ripened, with milk hand squeezed from grass fed jersey cows”. Which tends not to be available in the supermarket for $2.75.
Outside of supermarket, Haigh’s, Koko Black. I haven’t had the time to look for independent chocolatier’s recently, but did have fun in Paris before the pandemic doing some sampling. I guess I should look locally.
Koko Black is my favourite (outside of supermarket) at gourmet prices
Look. I definitely didn’t just go to Woolworths and buy one of everything to try.
For those who want Flybuys points, Coles has these for half-price on Wed
