A TikTok creator has sparked debate after sharing a recipe for a homemade Terry's Chocolate Orange made with real fruit. The clip, posted by user paigebakedthat, shows her recreating the iconic confection using actual orange segments instead of the traditional chocolate shape.
In the video, Paige explains that she peeled an orange, removed the white pith, and used a shop-bought Terry's bar as a template. She then dipped each segment individually in melted orange chocolate, carefully arranging them to form the shape of the bar. The process required precision, as she noted it was 'fiddly but well worth it'.
The finished product, which she left to set in the fridge for several hours, features real orange segments covered in Terry's chocolate, with the original logo piece attached to the front. However, viewers were divided over whether the fruit used was actually an orange, with some arguing it was a tangerine or clementine. Paige responded with an orange emoji, but one commenter insisted, 'An orange and tangerine are two different fruits.'
Terry's Chocolate Orange was first produced in York in 1932, though production moved to Strasbourg, France, in 2018. The company previously marketed a chocolate apple and, in 1979, a chocolate lemon, which was discontinued after three years.
