Orange Chocolate: The Drop of Sunshine for Darker Nights
As the temperature dips and the days grow shorter, orange chocolate becomes the drop of sunshine we crave. At Russell & Atwell, our Limited Edition Seville Orange chocolate truffles are a celebration of everything that makes orange chocolate irresistible, especially during autumn and Halloween.
Why do we love orange chocolate in autumn?
Orange chocolate brings memories of cozy nights indoors, glowing Halloween jack-o’-lanterns, and the nostalgic scent of oranges at the bottom of a Chirstmas stocking. The pairing of rich chocolate with real Seville orange evokes warmth, comfort, and a twist of excitement as seasons change.
What makes orange chocolate so delicious?
The magic is in the balance. Orange chocolate combines the deep, creamy notes of chocolate with zesty, slightly tart citrus. Our award-winning orange chocolate truffles use real Seville orange for an authentic marmalade hit, thin chocolate shells, and a gooey, moreish centre celebrated by Great Taste Award judges
Is orange chocolate healthy?
Indulgence can be part of a balanced lifestyle! Dark orange chocolate offers antioxidants from both cocoa and the citrus. Our fresh fridge chocolates use zero preservatives, no palm oil, and real fruit, so you can treat yourself with less guilt, especially during occasions like Halloween.
How should I enjoy Seville Orange?
They should be enjoyed straight from the fridge, where every bite delivers a refreshing burst of flavour. Try pairing with:
- Mulled wine or spiced hot chocolate (for a real trick-or-treat grown-up twist)
- Toasted panettone with orange chocolate spread
- Blood orange segments and creamy Greek yoghurt (ahem) for breakfast
- Candied orange peel dipped in chocolate for a homemade treat
Can I bake with orange chocolate or use it in recipes?
Absolutely! Orange chocolate brownies, tarts, muffins, and cakes are all autumn favourites. For a special Halloween dessert, swirl chopped orange chocolate truffles into brownie batter, or use them to decorate spooky cupcakes for your party.
What are the best occasions for orange chocolate gifts?
Orange chocolate is perfect for autumn birthdays, Halloween parties, Bonfire Night, or simply as a surprise pick-me-up for friends missing the summer sun. Our Seville Orange range makes an ideal gift set—luxe, limited-edition, and sure to delight even the fussiest chocolate fan.
Where does orange chocolate come from?
The tradition stretches back to Victorian Britain, when candied orange peel was first dipped in dark chocolate for an exotic festive treat. Today, orange chocolate remains a classic, finding its way into truffles, bars, cakes, and countless seasonal recipes.
