Chocolate enthusiasts across the UK are celebrating the surprise return of a beloved seasonal treat, with many claiming the comeback product surpasses the classic original. The item causing the stir is the Terry's Chocolate Orange Cream Egg, a creamy, orange-flavoured confection that has landed on supermarket shelves months ahead of the Easter period.
A Viral Sensation and Shopper Delight
The product first appeared in B&M stores in December 2025 before a wider rollout to major supermarkets including Tesco, Sainsbury's, Co-op and Iceland. Its reappearance has sparked a wave of excitement on social media, particularly on TikTok, where user Mimi Nasri shared her enthusiastic discovery.
In her viral clip, she hailed it as "What a creation!" Her viewers were quick to agree, with comments ranging from "Well I know what I'll be buying a huge amount of" to "Need immediately, this is a firm favourite chocolate". Others humorously bemoaned the threat to their diets, with one declaring, "I am running to Tesco".
Product Details and Where to Buy
The returning treat is a 34g egg filled with a tangy orange-flavoured cream. It retails for approximately 85p for a single egg, or shoppers can opt for a multipack of five for £3.50. Tesco ClubCard holders can currently purchase the single eggs for just 75p, offering a small but welcome saving.
Terry's official social media channels have promoted the egg, calling it their "newest Easter eggsperiment" and highlighting its "creamy, tangy, orangey centre". The brand even offered a serving tip, suggesting the gooey centre is best enjoyed at room temperature, or at "pocket temperature if you’re planning on hiding it from others".
A Sweet Slice of Chocolate History
The launch has also prompted a look back at the rich heritage of the Terry's brand. The company's story began in 1767 in York with a shop selling candied peel. Joseph Terry joined in 1823, expanding into chocolate and confectionery.
The pivotal moment came over a century later, in 1932, when the revolutionary Terry's Chocolate Orange was first created in Yorkshire. This iconic product paved the way for numerous variations, including white chocolate, mint editions, and bags of mini segments. The return of the Cream Egg continues this tradition of innovation aimed at delighting loyal fans.
With Easter 2026 still several months away, Terry's has successfully capitalised on early seasonal demand, creating a buzz that has shoppers hunting down the creamy eggs ahead of the traditional springtime scramble.
