Darrell Lea, an iconic Australian confectionery company, was founded in 1927 by Harry Lea in Sydney, initially as a combined milk bar and confectionery shop. The brand is celebrated for its commitment to quality and unique products, with its famous Soft Eating Liquorice being an accidental invention from a batch gone wrong. Another beloved creation is Rocklea Road, a distinct Australian take on Rocky Road. After 85 years of family ownership, the company faced voluntary administration in 2012 but was revitalized under new ownership, restructuring its offerings and expanding distribution beyond its traditional retail stores to major supermarkets, ensuring its sweet legacy continues.
