Terry’s Chocolate Orange brings back popular Christmas treat for another year – but shoppers are divided
SHOPPERS are racing to major retailers to pick up a favourite Christmas treat that has returned for the season.
Terry’s Chocolates has brought back the popular chocolate-orange and marshmallow ball, spicing up the classic hot chocolate for the silly season.
Marketed as “the perfect comfort drink”, the brand announced the return of the product on their Facebook page.
“All you need to do is pour over some hot milk and watch the magic happen,” the post read.
“You’ll have delicious orange marshmallows appearing before your eyes before you know it”.
Fans of the chocolate-orange treat were divided in the comments over the hot-drink addition.
One person quipped “woo diabetes in a mug”, while another said “just put an actual chocolate orange in there”.
Other shoppers were keen to give the drink a go.
“We need one of these,” one person said, tagging their friend in the comment.
“How many do you think will fit in the car,” another person commented.
Some people were, however, sceptical.
“I would put in a maximum of three segments, not the whole thing,” one person said.
Others were more keen to see the return of other products, with one woman saying “just bring back the chocolate drinking powder already”.
Another wrote “please please please bring back the ones with popping candy”.
The cosy-weather treat is available for shoppers at Asda, Poundland, B&M stores and other major retailers in the UK.
A keen-eyed shopper spotted the new addition at Asda, for just £1.98, where the product description reads “When life gives you oranges, make hot chocolate”.
The brand also released a chocolate caramel-flavoured egg ahead of the Christmas season, described as “smooth and rich” in flavour.
Other brands are also getting in on the Christmas energy, with Nestle unveiling a brand new confectionery range for the year.
How to save money on chocolate
We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs…
Go own brand – if you’re not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you’ll save by going for the supermarket’s own brand bars.
Shop around – if you’ve spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it’s cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you’re getting the best deal.
Look out for yellow stickers – supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they’ve been reduced.
They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.
Buy bigger bars – most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.
So if you’ve got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
The new range includes a host of Quality Street changes.
Fans will be able to try a brand new mystery flavour this year, which can be found in limited edition bags of Quality Street sold exclusively at Waitrose and John Lewis.
You can also find the mystery sweet at John Lewis’ pop-up Christmas pick and mix stations, which will return to all stores in October.
If you can’t wait to discover what the new flavour is, you can find out here.
Meanwhile, a fan-favourite Quality Street flavour has made a comeback for a third Christmas – after it was gone from shelves for 20 years.
The limited edition Coffee Creme flavour has returned – and you can get an entire box of them in Waitrose for £6.
One excited shopper responded to the news of the comeback with a rave review on the Waitrose website, describing the sweets as “absolutely delicious”.
“Every year I beg the makers of Quality Street to bring coffee creams back to their collection tins and boxes.
“So to discover these is like 40 years of Christmases all coming together.
“They are absolutely delicious, with an intense coffee flavoured hit. I don’t know why QS ever stopped making them. Merry, merry Christmas!”, they wrote.
Fans of the green triangle Quality Street will be happy to know that the brand has launched a new sharing bar inspired by the hazelnut flavour sweet.
The bar was spotted on Asda shelves earlier this year, with Nestle saying they created the bar so fans “don’t have to wait until Christmas to enjoy sharing the taste of one of their favourite Quality Street sweets”.
An 84g bar costs £3.50, and is described as having a “smooth, silky praline filling coated in a milk chocolate shell”.
Meanwhile, Quality Street’s recyclable paper tub is returning this Christmas, the brand said.
They are set to be rolled out across select Tesco stores starting from October.
‘Throw him out!’ – Watch moment angry Rory McIlroy demands vile Team USA fan be kicked out of Ryder Cup for sick slur
RORY MCILROY angrily demanded that a vile Team USA fan be immediately thrown out of the Ryder Cup for using a sick slur.
The North Irishman was subjected to abuse from the home crowd throughout the weekend in New York.
McIlroy, 36, had the last laugh as he and Team Europe won their first Ryder Cup in the USA since 2012.
And one fan in particular was on the end of McIlroy’s no-nonsense approach to stamping out abuse.
In a video taken from the crowd, the vile fan could be heard heckling the golfer.
They said: “Rory, hey you f****t.”
McIlroy did not stand for the flagrant hate speech from a member of the crowd.
The reigning Masters champion called security immediately to “kick him out”
McIlroy pointed straight at the guilty party so the security were aware of who it was.
As the fan complained, “for what?” McIlroy made him know as he responded, “for calling me a f****t”.
It was just one of a multitude of clashes that McIlroy had with fans at Bethpage Black Golf Course.
Even his wife Erica, was affected as she was hit by a beer from the crowd while walking with her husband.
Speaking after the 15-13 victory, McIlroy insisted that the police should have “let the dogs off the leash”.
He said: “I wish they had let the dogs off the leashes.
“The police out there and the amount of security presence was insane.
“Look, nothing was going to happen. There wasn’t going to be a physical altercation.

“There was a lot of language that was unacceptable and abusive behaviour.
“We shouldn’t ever accept that in golf.
“It was a rough week for all of us. But at the same time, we shut them up by our performance and how we played.
“I chirped back a few times because it got to me a few times, but we tried to handle everything that came our way with class and poise, and for the most part, I felt like we did that.”
Meanwhile, glamorous golf influencer Paige Spiranac called out the abhorrent behavior all weekend from fans.
She admitted that she was not surprised by it but demanded change across all sports to stamp that kind of conduct out.
