As it is nearly that time of the year again, there are a few things that only appear at Christmas, not because they are a seasonal item, but more because Christmas is the only time of year I don’t diet!
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.
