According to Carambar & Co, Joseph Terry created a yummy chocolate and candied orange peel treat all the way back in 1823. Does that name sound familiar? The Terry’s Chocolate Orange we know and love today came into being in 1932, with more than 44 million sold each year (via Confectionary News).
With this flavor pairing growing so popular, countless other companies have tried to create their own unique twist on the original chocolate orange. Trader Joe’s, for instance, sells a fan-favorite dark chocolate orange around the holiday season. Per Trader Joe’s, the treat is meant to evoke “comforting waves of nostalgia.” This year, however, Whole Foods hopped on the chocolate orange train with its own version. While Whole Foods’ chocolate orange-inspired snack is a little different from what we’re used to, it’s certainly got the spirit, and isn’t that all that really matters?
