Terry's Chocolate Orange... ah, what can I say?... Pure genius. The recipe, the concept, the packaging... it's the Real McCoy, I tell you. And those segments are sumptuously chewable-chunky, mind you. Mm-mm-mmmmm.
But, approaching 40 with a metabolic rate that's ever-decreasing, and a waist that's ever-increasing, I have had to find alternatives...
Alpen Light, Chocolate and Orange flavour. Two words - Tor. Ture. I will not lie.As you unwrap the bar, the aroma of chocolate-orange is prominent, and promising. But when you bite into it, it all strangely disappears...
The taste, at best, is of a toasted something... or the other. A little nutty, slightly corn-flaky... and that's about it. Makes me feel like washing it down with a reassuring Terry's Hot Chocolate-Orange Drink...
But hey, I guess I should stick with chocolate-orange smelling toasted-somethings. 'Coz I really cannot be 5ft 4inches, and be weighing 60kg.
So if I can't have The Real Thing, I'll have to settle for It's Ugly Cousin. No offence, Alpen Light.
ohhhhhhhhh. Must try!
ReplyDeleteOnce you have the Terry's, you will not go back to normal chocolate, I swear. As for the Alpen Light... good luck. :/
