Ok, my friend thinks that I am absolutely bonkers because this year of all years, I have not been able to find Terry's chocolate Orange in Peppermint flavour!

http://www.typetive.com/candyblog/item/terrys_peppermint_orange/ is a review for the chocolate ball, but I can't find where to buy it on the net or how to get my hands on one. Apparently they are made in the UK by Kraft - but this year around here they only have the milk chocolate and the dark chocolate.

Please tell me that it is only my area that isn't carrying them this year? And if anyone comes across one, please pm me and I will send the postage and everything if you would kindly ship one to me!!! I would truly be indebted!!!

Thanks all!!!

Actually I had a hard time finding the regular chocolate oranges. We live across the street from Ben Franklin. They usually sell them and I pretty much clean them out.  ;D ;D ;D (actually, I stock up for the year because this is the only time of year they sell them). We saw them in our local grocery story but we figured they would be cheaper at Ben Franklin. But, Ben Franklin didn't sell them this year-and by the time we got back to the grocery store-they were gone.  :\'( :\'( :\'(  If it wasn't for Erin, I wouldn't have 1 this year. I know you can get them on line but they are more expensive. I haven't really done a search.



Cat

You know - it is funny how quickly they sell out of them right?

I have searched everywhere online and even in the history it says nothing about there ever being a peppermint orange! So it looks like I might be SOL for trying to find one to actually have! Big bummer!!! ;D

Guys I wished I'd known about this problem.  I could've picked up both varieties half price at the airport yesterday!

I will check to see if the supermarkets here have any - they certainly did before Christmas.

Girl............ if you find them I will be forever in your debt! lol

We normally have them every year around here. The Commissary on post imports all kinds of different foods, and Terry's peppermint has always been one of them. So sad that there weren't any at all this year! They didn't even bring in the Terry's snowball orange.....

Funny how we get attached to certain things right? lol 8)

Of course, as a resident of the U.K where you can buy them everywhere I am open to bribes......................

Gis!!!!!!!!!!! You can in fact get your hands on the peppermint ones??!!??!!??!!??!!

What would a friend have to do in order to get one??!! LOL ;D ;)

And now the hunt begins yet again!
I am hoping that being on the East Coast will make my hunt a little bit easier - but then again I am so far north... who knows if they will get them up here! ;D

I did however come across the Hershey's Kisses Mint Truffle.
Can I say that they are like an orgasm in a little silver wrapper??!!
What the heck! I just did!!!

If anyone see's Terry's Peppermint Chocolate Oranges - holla at me!
Happy Holidays!!!

I'm not a big fan of the taste of the Chocolate Orange.  I just like smashing them on a table as like in the commercials ;D

I will keep my eyes open Tam...btw, LOVE your pics in your sig line! ;)

And you Rock Girl!
I have seen the fake one's up here - but they are all just orange. Not what I am looking for at all.
Great big hugs!!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven't seen those chocolate oranges around here in a couple of years....too bad, because I love them! I've never tried the peppermint one, though.

Ok so I *might* just bring some with me in March................ ;D

Ahhh so now the real reason comes out huh? ;D
Should have known ::) ;D ;D

Stop and Shop didn't have any chocolate oranges of any description as far as I could tell today

I'm having difficulty getting to grips with the concept of merged chocolate, orange and mint...

Choc and mint...yes

Choc and orange...fine

...but all three?  8-P

I think it's choc and mint shaped like a traditional chocolate orange.  At least that's what I'm hoping the combo is

That's exactly what it is.
It's the orange shape with just choc and mint ;)

I have emailed Kraft to find out if they have just stopped producing them altogether.

Hopefully they reply.... but who knows ???

I looked in CVS yesterday but they didn't have any either.

Thanks for still looking Karen. It means a lot to me, even though I know you want to try it yourself. ;)

I will definitely let ya know. One way or another I am going to get one or a dozen. If I have to send Gis the money..... I know she can find them 'over there'. 8)

Are they definitely available in the UK?

I could ask my m-i-l to bring some over when she comes next Friday.

It wouldn't let me look at the site properly.  Apparently my cookies are wrong.  (maybe I should buy a different brand  ;) )

I am definitely asking the in-law to bring some next week.  How many, what types do you want?

The coffee place I go to has a chocolate orange mocha.  It's supposed to taste like a chocolate orange.  It doesn't.  It sucks.

No much of an answer huh? ::)

Well that tell's you a whole lot :-\\ :-\\ :-\\ :-\\  A little vague in their replies are they  ??? ??? ???

That means you should be able to get them almost anywhere, at any potential place that sells stuff in the months that end in R on days that end in Y :)  Or maybe not at all :(

WOW ;D ;D ;D

I was thinking pretty much the same thing.
My initial email asked specifically about the Peppermint ones, and they reply by saying "and other flavors" ::)
Morons! Guess they don't my money too badly.
It's a shame though because if I do find them, I know I am going to spend the $ on them. ;)
