Every year, without fail, my brother and I each receive a Terry's Chocolate Orange from a friend of our mum's who pops round at Christmas. She usually buys the new version for that year, so I knew that this year I was going to be trying the hazelnut version and was quite looking forward to it.

Like all the of the varieties, the 175g "orange" come wrapped in foil and you are instructed to "tap and unwrap". This is always an enjoyable part of the process for me. It's noisy. I like making noise. Plus if you tap it enough to break the segments apart, but not quite enough to smash it to smithereens, you end up with that wonderful orange core.

If you haven't eaten a chocolate orange before, boy are you missing out. They are orange-shaped (although you can buy bars now, which resemble several segments lying next to each other) and the outside is textured to resemble peel. The standard are milk or dark chocolate with orange flavouring, although there have been a number of special editions, including white chocolate (surpisingly good - that was last year's!) and mint (not even orangey at all).

So here we have the hazelnut. I like hazelnut, I like chocolate orange, so I was expecting big things. And tasty as it was, I can't help feeling disappointed for the lack of nuts. The chocolate is strangely undecided - not sweet and milky enough to be milk chocolate, not bitter enough for dark, and with the lovely orange flavour you would expect from a Chocolate Orange. I actually really enjoyed the chocolate itself.

The hazelnuts in question, however, were so miniscule and rare that I barely even noticed they were in at all! I hadn't been expecting chunks of nut, because that would make shaping it in segments quite difficult I would imagine, but it was hard to distinguish that it was even nut, let alone hazelnut! To me it tasted just crispy.

I find it easy to get carried away with Chocolate Oranges ("just one more segment!") and despite not being too nutty, I managed to devour about half in one sitting. Which by the way is not advised because they can get a bit sickly. Then I looked at the nutrition info. It didn't make for happy reading.

Per 100g (which is just over half of the orange) there are 535 calories and a whopping 31g fat!! Fortunately I ate this when I had been ill with flu and not really eating too much of anything else for a couple of days prior - I sometimes don't even manage 31g fat in an entire day normally, let alone for a treat!

You can pick up this new edition for around the £2 mark in most supermarkets or larger newsagents, and they are often subject to some kind of offer. If you like Chocolate Oranges, I would recommend you try them, but don't be disappointed by the lack of bits!
