Advantages: Tastes good, cheap in the sale

Disadvantages: Calories - ouch!

When we were in town a couple of days ago we saw that our branch of Woolworths was due to close the following day and the prices had been reduced by 60% so we popped in for a look round the few things that were left. I must admit we did both feel rather uncomfortable; it was like vultures picking the last bits off a carcass - very sad.

Anyway we took a look round and amongst the last bits and pieces we found some Terry's Chocolate Oranges Cracking Hazelnut. They were reduced from £2.50 to just £1 each so we got one for ourselves and one to put in my sister's Christmas present - no, I'm not shopping for next Christmas! My sister always comes to visit at New Year and we exchange presents then!

The cardboard box is the same size and dimensions as the standard Terry's Chocolate Orange as is the 'orange' inside. The box itself is yellow with orange writing and a hole through which you can see the foil wrapped contents.

So to get at the chocolate you just open the box, remove the wrapped orange, tap it and unwrap it and the segments fall in a neat circle ready to eat right? Wrong - tapping it isn't going to get you anywhere! It needs a good whack to get it to separate! Not that I am complaining you understand just making a point.

The orange eventually falls into 20 separate segments so that you can eat as much or as little as you like and save some for another day. Yeah right! Hubby and I got stuck in and soon devoured the lot in one sitting with no problems at all!

The taste is basically the same as the standard chocolate orange but with hazelnut where the orange would be. Each segment is made of creamy milk chocolate with crunchy bits of hazelnut sprinkled through it. The taste is really nice especially if like me you love hazelnuts. For preference I would rather have Cadburys Milk Chocolate but I find that the chocolate oranges in both this and the standard flavour are very nice for a change.

The nutritional value per 100g (12 segments)
Calories 535 (ouch!)
Protein 7.5g
Carbohydrate 55.5g
Of which sugars 55.0g
Fat 31g
Of which saturates 17.0g
Fibre 2.3g
Salt 0.23g

The packaging can of course all be recycled.

So there you are another hit from Terry's but, having seen how many calories there are in it, I think it should be kept for an occasional treat!
