Terry's

A York institution since 1767

Terry's began in York, England in 1767 — one of Britain's oldest confectioners, and for two centuries a neighbour and rival to the city's other chocolate dynasty, Rowntree. Before the orange, there was a Terry's Chocolate Apple, launched in 1926; it sold for decades before being quietly discontinued, leaving the orange as the survivor.

The 1932 original — and the range today

The Chocolate Orange as we know it arrived in 1932 and never really left. Today the line runs past the original milk ball: a deeper dark version for the cocoa-forward, plus spin-offs like the mint and popping-candy balls that drop the orange flavour entirely. We carry the core orange variants in milk and dark, in ball and bar, alongside the rest of our British sweets.
