Terry’s Chocolate Mint Minis (Tesco) By @Cinabar

Terry’s Chocolate Mint Minis


After trying Lindt Lindor Dark Mint, I’d almost convinced myself that the only chocolate mint for me was After Eights. But I know there are plenty of other great chocolate mint combinations out there, so I decided to see if anything new had popped up. It is Christmas, after all, and mint, like cinnamon, feels like a flavour of the season.

This year, Terry’s has stepped away from their iconic oranges to release their Mint Chocolate range, and I must say, I’m a fan. Alongside it, they’ve introduced these Terry’s Chocolate Mint Minis, which looked irresistibly cute on the shelf, so naturally, I picked up a bag.

The packaging is pretty and festive, but my first impressions weren’t entirely positive. The “peel here” tab on the back turned out to be more of a “rip it here awkwardly and hope for the best” situation. To make matters worse, the bag isn’t resealable, which feels like an oversight. The chocolates themselves had rubbed together inside the bag, so they lacked the polished, glossy finish you get with the full-sized version. A little disappointing.

However, once I got past the packaging quirks, I was pleasantly surprised. These bite-sized chocolates are adorable, and the flavour is absolutely spot on. The milk chocolate is creamy and sweet, and the mint shines through beautifully. The crunchy texture from the mint crystals mixed into the chocolate adds a satisfying bite. Taste-wise, they’re a complete win.

That said, I’m not entirely sold on the value of miniaturisation in this case. While the smaller size is undeniably cute, I’m not sure it offers much beyond aesthetics compared to the full-sized Terry’s (not an) Orange.
