Product Information

Make sure all your ingredients (particularly the butter and eggs) are at room temperature before you start baking. As you might imagine, the Chocolate Apple looked very similar to the Chocolate Orange but tasted of apple-flavored chocolate instead. Who invented Terry’s Chocolate Orange?

The company opened the Art Deco-style factory known as Terry's Chocolate Works [5] [6] in 1926, and began launching new products. [7] These included the Dessert Chocolate Apple (1926), Terry's All Gold (1931) and the Chocolate Orange (1932). [8] Terry’s Chocolate Orange has become an absolute favorite down the decades, most commonly seen at Christmas time.This is where the chocolate orange came in. When Frank and Noel Terry gained control of the company in 1923, they developed a new factory – Terry’s Chocolate Works – and a brand new line of products. The factory was returned to Terry’s – officially named Terry’s of York – after the war, although rationing and limited imports made it challenging to scale up production of confectionery items. Terry’s had many owners through the years. In 1823 – more than 100 years before the chocolate orange was first sold – Joseph Terry joined “Bayldon and Berry,” a confectionery shop in Bootham Bar, York.

The chocolate apple had also come to an end in 1954 due to a limited supply of cocoa available after World War 2. So the company invested in the increased production of chocolate oranges instead.
