Advantages: Orange taste in chocolate well executed.

Disadvantages: High in the calorie stakes.

Terry's Chocolate Orange is a chocolate bar that is around 15 cm long and is shaped like a series of orange segments that are melded together with the end segment with it's exposed side having engravings that are are comparable to the apperance of an actual orange segment. Otherwise it is presented as a ball (i.e. like an orange) and can be divided into segments which all have the aforementioned engravings.

The chocolate orange was first introduced in the 1930s following the introduction of a chocolate apple in the 1920s. It quickly rose in popularity, leading to the chocolate apple eventually to be phased out.

The chocolate itself is normally found in two varieties - milk chocolate and dark chocolate. Personally, I love the dark chocolate version - the dark chocolately taste compliments the orange flavour more successfully than its milk chocolate counterpart. The ball presentation provides too much of a temptation, this stuff is devilishly addictive so I would reccomend sticking to the bar version of this product. Having said that, a chocolate orange ball is a great stocking filler around the christmas season and a great novelty product.

Per bar, a milk chocolate terry's chocolate orange will provide 212 calories and 12 grams of fat. A little of the heavy side since you will still be hungry after this. That's probably the point though - this stuff tastes so good you will want more. A great chocolate bar with no equal in the market of fruit flavoured chocolate.

Summary: Great chocolate product.
