Terry's Chocolate Orange

World of Snacks is searching high and low for the very best snacks found anywhere in the world and we are highlighting our discoveries on our international snack blog. Later this year we will launch our online snack store and plan to offer many of these featured items available for purchase with shipping in the US and across the globe. We initially thought this chocolate treat was from Poland since it’s manufactured there, however our research has led us to classify this confectionery item as English, where the company originated. Being much of my childhood was spent abroad in England I didn’t find it hard to believe this was not a Polish snack, it was one of my favorites as a kid!

Our featured snack, Terry’s Chocolate Orange is manufactured in Poland by Mondelez International. Mondelez is Europe’s largest chocolatier and biscuit maker, the second-largest maker of candy and coffee and the third largest producer of gum. Needless to say this snack company is a powerhouse offering a vast array of delicious snack foods. Mondelez International also owns Kraft and even though we are classifying this particular snack as English, Mondelez is a US based company employing over 100,000 workers around the world. The reason we are calling Terry’s Chocolate Orange English is Terry’s was initially founded in the UK in the 1920s and is still a favorite among British snack lovers. Oddly enough, this Polish manufactured snack is not available for sale in Poland.

The presentation of Terry’s Chocolate Orange definitely adds to the charm of this high-end treat. It comes is a shinny blue box with gold letters. The snack itself is the size of an orange and comes wrapped in gold foil. Upon unwrapping this chocolate orange you can tap it in the center and it splits into 20 individual orange wedges! We know it looks good, but how does Terry’s Chocolate Orange taste?

Although this snack from England was one I enjoyed as a child, it has been a long time since I’ve indulged in one. To be honest, I wasn’t 100% sure what to expect, well other than chocolate and orange. After the first bite, my original experience with Terry’s came back vividly. The snack is fun to eat and consists of firm almost crunchy chocolate that is blended with orange oil. The orange flavor is smooth and not acidic like a real orange. The flavor compliments the chocolate but does not overwhelm the taste buds. All tasters really enjoyed this British candy although my preferences have changed over the years. I was happy to indulge on this decadent treat but I would say it’s no longer my favorite. I think sampling snacks from around the world has led to an increased pallet for snacks. I found the chocolate a hair waxy like a US candy bar and the sugar content to be a little too high. That being said, I’m just being picky. Terry’s Chocolate Orange is a fantastic international snack!

1/01/20014 UPDATE: Alan from the UK notified us that we actually reviewed the US version of this snack.  We did import it from the UK but sometimes we still get items made for the US market.  We will be sure to review the true snack from England in the near future.  - WorldofSnacks
