Terry's Chocolate Orange

Unbeatable

A favourite of mine too! I haven't eaten them too much though to be honest. When I do buy one, i munch down the whole thing in a matter of minutes though.

cson · 18-01-2009 3:09am

Nice, but a touch sickly if you eat a whole one.

Which I've done far too often

emeraldstar · 18-01-2009 1:36pm

God I haven't had one in at least 7 years I'd say. Want one now though

I've never had the plain chocolate one even though I love dark chocolate, is that as nice?

Kevster · 18-01-2009 3:39pm

I can't answer that because i've never had the dark chocolate one! The plain chocolate one is absolutely lovely though, but expensive. I was just at my local Superquin and it was something like €4.50. You can get them for only €2.00 in those discount stores like that '2€uro' shop.

The €2 shop in dun laoghaire has 5 of the bars for €2, proably has way more chocolate. I am off to get them now!

They do loads of bars 5 for €2, and all well within date, and some are bars which are typically a bit more, like terrys orange & toblerone.

you can get 3 of the chocolate oranges in sainsburys for like 5 pound:cool:

Toto Wolfcastle · 18-01-2009 6:49pm

Drool!

I love Terry's Chocolate Orange. The plain chocolate ones are yum, although I wish they were available in bar form anywhere near me!

Actually, I find it hard enough to get the milk chocolate ones (bars) now that I think about it.

I tend to just look out for offers and get the orange shaped ones, which I eat in one sitting. They're even better straight out of the fridge.

nope it takes me an hour and a half to get there I stocked up a christmas but will have to stock up again in a few weeks

Passenger · 20-01-2009 2:29am

Dose anybody actually bother with the orange shape? The bar is bangin' though.

deleriumtremens · 23-01-2009 1:44am

As somebody said, the 2 euro shops give you 5 for 2 euro. And yes, they are indeed lovely.
You can also get 5 dime bars for 2 euro which is, i mo thuairimse, class!!!

I remember when I was 8 and got a terrys chocolate orange egg for easter. Ate the whole egg and the two bars for breakfast and got dragged to church. Got really dizzy in church from eating to much too fast and almost collapsed. My mother dragged me outside where I got sick. It was the best thing ever. I felt great afterwards and because it was the only thing I ate the vomit tasted like terrys chocolate orange. Best vomit ever.

emeraldstar · 31-01-2009 11:12am

Lol!! Is the egg in the Terry's Easter Egg orange flavoured also, yeah? :P

abouttobebanned · 31-01-2009 11:15am

The box of sweets ftw! The yellow ones with the crushed corn flake pieces are yummy!

Toto Wolfcastle · 31-01-2009 12:16pm

I remember years ago there was a sweet shop on Patrick's Street in Cork and one Easter, as I walked past it, I saw a huge, pumpkin-sized Chocolate Orange in the window. I was convinced that my mother was going to buy it for me. She didn't.

Kevster · 01-02-2009 2:07am

Yummy... ...that sounds like it'd be a huge task to munch down, janeybabe, but it being a Terry's Chocolate Orange should make it easier

:pac:... :pac:... :pac:...

sukikettle · 01-02-2009 2:12am

Retrogamer that made me cry with laughter:D

Yeah it would probably have been the one and only time that I would have shared a Chocolate Orange.

You forgot Egg shaped!! Best Easter Egg ever!

ScarlettOHara · 07-02-2009 11:01pm

We don't have chocolate oranges in Georgia. Besides Tara is a cotton plantation

siobhan.murphy · 07-02-2009 11:04pm

the big hugh easter egg has loads of indivudally wrapped segments,I hide a good handful of them in the frozen spinach--no one ever checks there!shush!:D:D

Mr. Presentable · 07-02-2009 11:04pm

Greasy and disgusting. Sorry

dolliemix · 07-02-2009 11:05pm

I much prefer the orange shaped one to the bar......It's chunkier. I used to dip the segments in my tea so it was melted and yummy. The bits that fell into my tea made my tea taste of chocolate orange

That happened me when i was pregnant! Surprisingly it didnt turn me off them!

Just Contribute · 12-12-2010 12:54pm

Yum, yum, yum! :pac:

My favourite treat ever! It's just so delicious. Best of all, they now sell the eggs for €2! I'm off to get one now...

Magic Eight Ball · 12-12-2010 3:40pm

They should only be eaten in orange form if ya ask me.

Tried the mint one.. was manky!

namurt · 14-12-2010 8:04pm

Just wondering if anyone knows if you can get moulds to make your own Chocolate oranges, would be a cool DIY christmas pressie! Have tried google but with no success.

star-pants · 15-12-2010 7:01pm

Hmm not sure, you'd probably have to have a look around kitchenware shops.
That or you could make up your own large one

Pimped Chocolate Orange

Magic Eight Ball · 15-12-2010 7:38pm

Star-Pants, I'm convinced we're kindred spirits! :pac:

Washout · 31-12-2010 2:31pm

Can you still get the big tubs of individually wrapped ones which had differant flavors? Remember getting a tub a couple of xmases ago but havent thought about theem since.

Fashionized · 11-01-2011 11:17pm

They're great! Can't seem to find them around here anywhere though. :mad:

thatone · 26-01-2011 9:02pm

On sale for 2.50 or 3.50 in Dunnes and tesco etc. A good deal cheaper than usual anywho.

Desire to Aspire · 01-02-2011 4:53pm

Why do they only seem to sell the egg version at Christmas?

Cicero · 01-02-2011 8:06pm

It's Eggciting....only 3+ months to Easter and my annual supply of Terry's Orange...

This is probably a stupid question, but what does the egg version look like? I presume it's an egg shape but I don't recall seeing it before.

It's actually an "orange" shape. The only available type apart from the chocolate bar.

Sorry if I confused you.

star-pants · 01-02-2011 11:17pm

Terrys Chocolate orange (in the ball shape) are available all year round, not just at Christmas. It's just they've extended the varieties they do (like the mint/white/popping candy) and they're only available at Christmas AFAIK. But you can get the regular ones all year round.

Well then it's just that the local Supervalu and Dunnes only stock them in and around Christmas. I snapped up the last one in Dunnes last week, and they haven't been in Supervalu for three weeks or so.

Lornen · 01-02-2011 11:21pm

I think I bought about 10 of those white celebration oranges for the other half in the run up to Xmas and they started selling them in Tesco from mid September.. Strange they stopped only a month after Xmas now!!

Also, does anyone actually remember the Terry's orange EGGS that used to come in a little orange egg box with a little spoon to eat them with?!

http://www.ciao.co.uk/product_media_view.php?ProductId=5287425&MediaId=545303&MediaType=Image

Ah yes, I knew I wasn't imaging them!!

THEY WERE AMAZING! Where did they go

star-pants · 01-02-2011 11:22pm

ah ok, I do agree they're far more abundant around Christmas, but just a friend of mine loves them so I've gotten them at other times of the year for her.
Gas back when they had the 'tap and unwrap' ads (We were only teens) - that never worked. She used to throw it at the wall! lol

edit - yup I remember the Egg & spoons, not seen them in a long time

I think they stopped making them along with the actual Terry's Easter Eggs that came with an orange flavour choc egg and a terry's orange..

What jokers.. That was the only egg I ever wanted and now they stop doing them >:(

Nicest easter egg I've had. Aww, it's just so savage.

Toto Wolfcastle · 02-02-2011 8:00am

Ah right. I was confused when you said they're only around at Christmas. I always see them in Dunnes, Super Valu and Tesco.

Dublinvillian · 02-02-2011 8:15am

The Missus puts one under the tree for me every christmas , fantastic christmas morning with a cup of coffee , pure lush

Dudess · 03-02-2011 12:51pm

Got me my mum a Terry's Chocolate Orange cake for me her birthday the other day. Mother of Jesus... drooooooooooooooool... Dark chocolate sponge with chocolate butter-cream icing and orange chocolate shavings and segments of chocolate orange. Quite heavy - ended up giving nearly half to the neighbours, but divine!

I saw this in Dunnes stores in Drogheda but to no avail here in Sligo.
