There’s surely no flavour combination more festive than chocolate and orange.
And now supermarket Tesco has unveiled a range of chocolate orange Christmas treats that are making our mouths water.
Last year, a whopping 15 million chocolate orange-flavoured products were sold at Tesco over the Christmas period.
And, this year, fans of the classic flavour combo are in for a treat as Tesco launches a selection of festive products that have been crafted to perfectly pair the flavours.

Customers can pick up a host of chocolatey orange treats from indulgent orange-filled chocolate muffins to Free From orange cream cookies covered with Belgian chocolate and a delicious new chocolate and clementine cake.
The Tesco Finest Belgian Chocolate & Clementine Cake, priced at just £12, serves 14 and makes for a stunning festive centrepiece.
Each slice reveals three alternating layers of light orange and chocolate sponge, delicately sandwiched with a zesty clementine coulis.
It’s hand-decorated with luxurious chocolate ganache buttercream, and finished with bronze-lustred Belgian chocolate curls and chocolate rice balls.
