Darrell Lea cooks up 70 tonnes of Christmas Puddings

Calm down, Australia. It might have been a tough, tough year… but at least Darrell Lea Christmas puddings have returned to supermarket shelves to make things feel joyful again.

Handcrafted in Australia, these puddings have a light and fluffy nougat center, are smothered in creamy milk chocolate, and topped with edible Christmas holly.

Darrell Lea made over 70 tonnes of puddings this year, using 25 tonnes of milk chocolate and 10 tonnes of desiccated coconut!

These legendary nougat treats were first launched by the Aussie confectionery company in the 1940s and have been selling out yearly ever since.

It goes without saying that the $10 puddings are still Darrell Lea’s best-selling Christmas product.

The nougat pudding isn’t the only item on our Christmas list this year. Also returning are their (completely addictive) Crunchy Christmas Balls, their famous Rocklea Road, ginger pieces smothered in dark chocolate, and Caramel Snows (featuring caramel fudge drizzled with white fondant and dark chocolate).

It’s beginning to taste a lot like Christmas.
