Terry's Chocolate Orange Egg with Orange Ball - 295g

The Chocolate Orange is one of those things every British household has an opinion on, mostly about who gets the last segment. As an Easter egg it sits alongside the big-name eggs in every UK supermarket come spring, and it is rarely the one left over.

People in Canada search for this one by name because of the tap. Any egg is an egg, but the whack on the table is the bit you remember from Easter at your nan's, and it is hard to recreate without the real orange in your hand.

The egg and the ball come together in one box, 295g in all: enough to share if you are generous, enough for one if you are not. Keep it somewhere cool and dry, well away from the radiator, and it will wait politely until Easter Sunday. Resist knocking the orange early. It knows.

Terry's is best known for the Chocolate Orange itself, and plenty of people pick up a standalone orange alongside the egg, on the reasonable grounds that one is never quite enough. It also sits happily in an Easter basket next to other British eggs for the family.
