Advantages: Orange flavoured dark chocolate. Disadvantages: Doesn't break up as easily as on the adverts!

The product I will now review is - “Terry’s chocolate orange - dark”
As with the other flavours and varieties in this range, all the chocolate oranges come wrapped in foil, then housed within a plastic sleeve, then inserted into a cardboard box, this is all to stop the orange segments becoming separated before un wrapping. Al this packaging is slightly unnecessary, as every time I have tried to do the “tap and unwrap” method of opening, the bloody thing is rock solid and I end up prising it open with a knife!
As mentioned earlier these are usually treats at Christmas, with them being one of the things my mum buys us as stocking fillers, but after doing a shop a couple of weeks ago, these were on offer at Asda, selling them for £1.00, it may not be the festive season yet, but it is always a haven for bargains, so of course I brought one.
After removing the chocolate orange from it’s burnt orange coloured foil wrap, you are faced with a dark chocolate orange, completed with marked out segments, even down to the pith (this is down to the chocolate being used to seal the slices together enough to resemble a full orange). The smell is incredible! There is the slightly bitter scented dark chocolate with a really heady and strong scent of citrusy orange , I have to say my mouth always waters before I even managed to get the damn thing apart!
As mentioned earlier, I either haven’t got the knack of “tap and unwrap” or I have only ever purchased faulty oranges, but it is rare that I get the orange to do what it does in the adverts, completely open! Once I have managed to prise one segment out, I find that the rest are much more willing to be released!
The taste again is sublime! There is the undertone of the creamy, smooth and slightly bitter chocolate, the orange not so much offsets the chocolate flavour but enhances it. The taste of the chocolate becomes more intense when the orange is detected, I find I can’t chew a segment, but am forced to suck slowly to get every last bit of flavour from the chocolate, once that has melted I simply start fresh with another!
The nutritional information is as follows - Per 26g (3 segments), 134 kcals, 15.0g carbohydrates, 14.5g of which sugars, 7.7g fat, 4.5g of which saturates
The allergy advices states that this product may contain traces nuts and wheat protein.
I have mentioned earlier what I paid for this, but full price these retail at around the £1.60 mark, even full price worth the cost, as these are much more than just a chocolate bar treat.
~ Segsations Mini Eggs ~
With Xmas and new just a distant memory , the card shops have already stocked and displayed Valentines and Mothers Day cards , but what of the supermarkets - well fear not , Easter Eggs are already appearing on the shelves , I actually saw Cadbury's Creme Eggs displayed on Jan. 2nd , but I digress.....
Last year saw Terry's release Segsations chocolates , mini chocolate segments revolving around their ChocolateOrange branded confectionary . A 330g box contained 5 varieties , namely :
Milk Terry?sChocolateOrange Segment : - the classic Orange flavoured chocolate.
Terry?s Milk ChocolateOrange with a layer of darker chocolate - a chocolateorange centre encased in a darkchocolate outer layer.
Terry?s Milk ChocolateOrange with honeycomb - chocolatedorange studded with tiny pices of golden ...
Advantages: Tasty chocolate Disadvantages: I expected it to have more orange flavour
A review of Terry's Choclate Orange bars - milk chocolate variety.
My search for something to have as my mid morning snack led me to the chocolate aisle, as usual. I was tempted by almost everything there but , it was the Terry's ChocolateOrange wrapper that caught my eye this week - "4 x delicious milk bars" was written on it.
Mmmm, delicious, that sounded encouraging, I thought I would find out.
Some Interesting Facts
Terry's Chocolate Apple was launched in the 1920's and the ChocolateOrange in the 1930's. As the orange flavour was more popular, the apple was phased out.
The ChocolateOrange bars are made in milk or darkchocolate.
Terry's was based at York (since the 1800's) until the new American owners (Kraft) closed the factory and moved it to Sweden, Belgium, Poland and Slovakia in 2005. The pack says ...
Advantages: Its chocolate Disadvantages: Not as nice as the normal oranges
each one in turn.
1. Dark blue wrapping, this is the one that we have all eaten and enjoyed since we were knee high to a grasshopper. It is the milk chocolateorange segment. Has to be everybody?s favourite. They are considerable smaller than the big orange segments about 1.5? in length.
2. Light orange wrapping. This one is frankly weird, it is milk chocolateorange but for some reason they decided to try and go crunchy so added bits of honeycomb, and I don?t think it really works. Yes the first time you try them it is nice, but you spend the next 15 minutes pulling bits of honeycomb out of your teeth. However did it stop me trying another one, me not eating chocolate, when hell freezes over!
3. Red wrapping. I love darkchocolate and Terry?sdark choccie orange has always been a favourite BUT this does not work, ok its ...
