The chocolate/orange combination is my favorite. I always make a chocolate and orange flavored cookie or truffle at Christmas. As far as DS goes, my feeling is that he would eat it, but it's probably not his fave.

I really like them. The chocolate is so smooth as well. My grandson is 21 and he absolutely loves them. I spaced out getting him one for Christmas and felt bad. Then when it was his birthday in February, thought I would make up for it. They are seasonal. What?! Took me a while, but finally found 3 of them on line and he was quite pleased with his birthday oranges. I have never tasted Nuttella. I had wanted to taste it, but when I picked up the container and looked at the ingredients, I just put it back on the shelf. First ingredient is sugar. I try to watch sweets in general and figured I didn't need to eat a glob of sugar. lol

I get in big trouble every year if I don't put a Terry's Chocolate orange in everyone's christmas stockings!! I like orange with dark chocolate, but not with milk chocolate
ETA - I don't like nutella either. But i think you need to post that chocolate orange cake recipe you have Meg!

I’m not a huge chocolate fan, but I LOVE chocolate and orange together. One of my favourite things is orange peel covered in dark chocolate. I do not enjoy Nutella anything; way too sweet for me.
My kids will only eat plain milk chocolate. But if I let them, they would have toast covered with a very thick layer of Nutella every single morning for breakfast. Heck, they don’t even care if the bread is toasted as long as there’s Nutella on it.

I like it, but I don't like the Christmas chocolate oranges. It doesn't taste orangey to me. Or maybe the % are not right for me.

Yum! I especially like those little sticks of orange jelly covered in chocolate.  These are my favorite I love them. Luckily Trader Joe’s is in the other side of town. Both my husband and I like them. I’m not sure about our son I don’t think he is a fan. |

Terry's chocolate oranges (the milk ones, not the dark ones) are a staple around here at Christmas.
Back in the olden days (when I was younger) we used to always get a real orange in the toe of our stocking. It was a tradition, along with a handful of in the shell mixed nuts (walnuts, almonds, that kind of thing). Back when my parents were little those things were luxuries, so they just always did it for us as well. We aren't big orange fans, so I've always subbed a Terry's chocolate orange in my kids' stockings!
But I love anything chocolate/orange - if there is one in a box of chocolates, I'll grab those first.

I love the chocolate orange combo, but only if it's dark chocolate. I don't care for milk chocolate in general anyway, so I'm pretty much always going to choose dark chocolate, especially with any type of fruit. I grew up with both parents who liked the chocolate orange combo so we had it occasionally (usually at Christmas time). My mom used to make a delicious orange cake with fudgy dark chocolate frosting - it was my Dad's favorite, but my siblings and I all loved it too. I answered no about whether my kids like it, because 2 out of 3 don't so I went with the majority. The kids and I all like dark chocolate with raspberry though. DH likes his chocolate only with either cherries or marshmallows. Along with Terry's dark chocolate/orange, I also love these: Lindt Intense Orange Dark Chocolate |

I do like chocolate and orange combo particularly if coffee is involved. About 10 or 15 years ago Starbucks had a summertime coffee drink called a Valencia orange mocha and it was so good! Fran’s chocolates, here in Seattle makes a delicious candied orange peel dipped in dark chocolate. I will admit I have never tried a chocolate orange. If you don’t like chocolate hazelnuts does that mean you aren’t a fan of Ferreo Rocher chocolates? Those things are sooooo good!  |

Where is the OH GOD NO option? I firmly believe fruit and chocolate do not belong together, and this is the most vile of combinations to me. No chocolate fondue for you??? It’s the best with fruit! I dip mallows or pretzels! |

AussieMeg have you tried the Darrel Lea "jaffas" - they are sensational and much better than Jaffa IMO. Oh yeah, love 'em! They're like Jaffas on steroids!  |

Candied orange peel dipped in semi sweet chocolate is one of my specialties. Most people love them.

I like chocolate/orange, but it has to be dark chocolate and orange jelly - orange creams are yuck. It isn't my favourite though - I much prefer choc/cherry or raspberry. And I love nutella as well.
I have no idea if my children like choc/orange, but suspect not.

I love chocolate orange.
I prefer See's candies. It comes in milk chocolate-orange, I wish it was available in dark chocolate.
Though, if I am buying See's, I get mostly Dark Chocolate Bordeaux and a couple of the Milk Chocolate Orange.
If someone has a chocolate orange ball and offers a piece, I will take it. I don't generally purchase one though.

Yes, I like the chocolate oranges and the chocolate covered orange jellies. I definitely prefer the ones with the dark chocolate.
I also like the raspberry chocolate combos.

I love those chocolate oranges. I think the chocolate orange combo is very popular in the uk, I miss that now that I live in Portugal.
