Did you know that Terry’s Chocolate Orange is created by Terry’s in 1932 at the Chocolate Works factory in York, England, and made by Mondelēz International since 2012.

Whenever I think of Terry’s Chocolate Orange I think of Christmas, this Chocolate in my opinion has a very Christmassy feel to it – even TV adverts are only shown at Christmas time. Maybe is the orange flavour that gives it that Christmas feel. Although we are in the middle of summer and these cupcakes went down a treat!

Did you know that this year (2016) they have reduced the size of the Terry’s Chocolate Orange down from 175g to 157g – as if we are all wouldn’t notice a drop of 18g of chocolate! However the price hasn’t dropped – this sounds like I’ve pulled the short straw here. However my waistline may appreciate it!
