Another Christmas is approaching and this means that someone over at Terry’s has put together a Limited Edition Chocolate Orange for the Season. Last year we had Volcanic Popping Candy, which was obviously a success as it is back on the shelves this year, but in previous years we have had some less appealing flavours, such as Orange and Hazelnut which was a little confused for my taste buds.
This year’s special is Tutti Frutti, and it consists of fruit flavoured colourful crystals in a white chocolate orange (which reminds me I haven’t seen the Snowball this year either).
The white chocolate is very sweet and creamy, and the wonderfully strong orange shines through. The Tutti Frutti bits add a light crunch in each piece, and also add to the sweetness, as well as giving a hint of a mixed fruits flavour. The Tutti Frutti taste isn’t as developed as I had expected, but it was certainly present and nicely put together.
I think it would be hard to dislike this chocolate orange, it has a good appeal with its speckled colourful chocolate chunks and sweet flavour. However it is quite a rich sweet Chocolate Orange, so less is more, and I found a couple of pieces plenty to relieve my sugar craving.
It certainly looks pretty, I've never tried a white chocolate orange before, just dark with orange pieces from Cote d'Or, milk with lemon flavour from Gubor (that one was actually an apple - picture showing the green wrapper) and simple milk chocolate from Milka (which pretended to be a chocolate ball, but it was actually an orange)
ReplyDeleteI like the picture of the product itself rather than just the packaging.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen these in the states but I'll be on the lookout. They look like the definition of sickly sweet, but I think I can handle it.
Ana - that Milka football looks suspiciously like it was with a Terry's Chocolate Orange mold! Fab photos, love the look of the Gubor goodies too.
ReplyDeleteRodzilla - this product is very much aimed at the younger market - even has kids puzzles on the back. It is very sweet, but I think it will be popular come Christmas.
For some reason this reminds me of the Wonderball.
ReplyDeleteIt was a ball with a milk chocolate crust and in the hallowed out middle was candy.
I think it came out in the 90's, but I'm not sure if its still sold.
Was Wonderball like Kinder Egg?
ReplyDeleteThis chocolate orange is solid choc...mmmm....
