Terry's Chocolate Orange White - 147g

The Chocolate Orange has been a fixture of British sweet shops, newsagents and petrol station counters since the 1930s. The white version takes a shape the whole country knows by heart and changes just one thing, which is exactly why people notice it.

If you grew up with one, you remember the tap, the foil, and the quiet argument over who gets the last segment. It is not something you spot on every shelf over here, so people go looking for it by name, usually after a sudden craving at about nine at night.

It comes as a full 147g orange, foil wrapped and boxed, ready for a firm knock on the worktop before you open it. Keep it somewhere cool and away from the radiator and it will sit happily in the cupboard until someone finds it, which will not be long.

It makes a good companion to the classic milk chocolate orange if you want the full set, and it slips nicely into a parcel of British chocolate for someone who misses home. Two oranges side by side also settles the old debate about which one is better. It does not, but it is fun trying.
