Have you ever eaten a Terry's Chocolate Orange?

As a rule I don't have a sweet tooth but for some strange reason, I blame the virus, I bought one of the pesky orange-shaped blobs, which are made with real orange oil.

I'm about to eat the last 2 segments and have only just idly checked the calorie count! shock

Tomorrow's walk is gonna have to be a long one!

I haven't got a chocolate orange so I had to make do with a real orange.

I did put the grated peel into some "healthy" biscuits I made earlier.

Ok not only am I stranded in Crete, I now want a chocolate orange more than anything! Not a lot of chance of finding one here on my one day a week shop. Why did I read this forum? Who is the meanie who started it?

I love them and could quiet easily eat a whole one.

How can anyone not eat a whole choc orange. I only get them at Xmas but no probs eating them. Eating part of one is like eating part if an Easter egg. Not good

As the advert used to say in the 70s....
"Tap it, unwrap it, and share a little luxury..."
Except....you didn't share it, did you? ?

I love them, but only the dark chocolate version which is harder to find. So when I do find them, I tend to buy a few. I haven't eaten a whole one in one sitting, but I'm up for the challenge.

There is no version of chocolate that I dislike. Some I like more than others - but I have no difficulty whatsoever in eating a large bar or whole chocolate orange (they're not that big anyway).
