A TikTok user has gone viral after demonstrating how to make a Terry's Chocolate Orange using real fruit. The video, posted by paigebakedthat, shows the process of peeling an orange and dipping each segment in melted chocolate to recreate the iconic treat.
In the clip, Paige explains her inspiration: 'When I saw the Terry's bar I immediately thought, what if a Terry's Chocolate Orange bar was made with real orange, and what if I used the chocolate to cover the segments?' She carefully removes the white pith from the orange, uses the original bar as a template, and dips each segment individually before assembling them into the familiar shape.
The video sparked debate among viewers about whether the fruit used was actually an orange or a smaller citrus like a tangerine. One commenter insisted: 'That's NOT an orange. That's a tangerine, mandarin, clementine...' Paige responded with an orange emoji, but the user countered that tangerines and oranges are different fruits.
Terry's Chocolate Orange was first produced in York in 1932. Production moved to Europe in 2005 and was consolidated in Strasbourg, France, in 2018. The company previously sold a chocolate apple and later a chocolate lemon, which was discontinued after three years.
