Terry's Chocolate Orange Truffles - 200g

The Chocolate Orange has been a fixture of British corner shops for generations: the foil, the knock on the table, the slices falling apart in your hand. The truffles take that flavour and make it bite-sized, which in practice means nobody keeps count.

People in Canada go looking for these because the flavour is so particular. Chocolate and orange together is common enough, but Terry's tastes like Terry's, and anyone who grew up with one on the sofa after Sunday dinner knows within a second whether it is the right one.

The 200g pack keeps well somewhere cool and dry, away from the radiator and away from the person who "just has one". They go round nicely with a cup of tea, sit well in a bowl when people come over, and do good work in a desk drawer at three in the afternoon.

Terry's is the York name behind the Chocolate Orange and All Gold, and people who pick up the truffles often grab the original orange too, for the tapping. Add a box of proper British tea and the evening is sorted.
