Lon and I are not a big fan of chocolate and orange paired together, so when I was given a Terry’s Dark Chocolate Orange
First, I love the packaging design. It’s a bit small to see, but it says, “Whack & Unwrap”. I think you are supposed to slam the ball so that the segments break apart. As you can see below, I was hesitant in my whacking, so only a few pieces loosened.
You eat the chocolate in segments, very cute and perfect for sharing.
I have to admit, I like the taste. It is a bit sweeter than I expect of dark chocolate but the orange oil is balanced nicely so that it is not over-powering, and the texture is smooth enough, resulting in a product well worth it’s very inexpensive price (under $2).

Not sure if they still make them, but they were making a dark chocolate raspberry for a while with the same whack/unwrap principle. Also, I’m a fan of how each segment is decorated to look like a real orange segment.
With raspberry, the segment design doesn’t make sense.
I am trying to get some chocolate orange for a girl I really like, is there anyone that knows where I may be able to find it in New York City. I live in Manhattan. Any help would be great. =)
I feel so sorry for you guys! These things are readily available here in the UK – I can only imagine what crusading for chocolate oranges can be like.
i love these. i always wait till after Christmas sales and get like 5 for 50% off. if anyone needs to know where to find them still (3 years late) i see um in either cvs or rite aid i forget which
I used to put these in the Christmas stockings, but the price is a little prohibitive now, they’re over 3.50. Getting them after Christmas at half-off is a great idea. One year I did find the raspberry, in both light and dark, as well as one that was just chocolate. Worked out well for our family–everyone got something they liked. I’m in the midwest, and usually can find them around the holidays at Kroger, Walgreens, Meijers, and Walmart.
i search forever to find these. its the only thing i asl for for xmas. and i rarely ever get them. this year i tore arapt wal-mart looking for the dark chocolate ones and i only seemed to find two left in the store and they were white chocolate. it was slightly upsetting but i enjoyed the white chocolate one on the way home. i thing there should be more of a supply in the stores all year round. and for anyone in the ny area if you get in my way when i spot one i will beat you down to get it lol =]
