Some things just go together like peas and carrots - right? Chocolate is delicious on its own but there are some genius pairs like peanut butter and chocolate. Chocolate and orange pairing has some interesting history. When chocolate was consumed only as a beverage (pre-industrial age) it was flavored with orange flower water. In 1931 Joseph Terry & Sons in York, England produced a chocolate orange - segmented just like an orange and wrapped in foil that looked like an orange. It was a best seller for them for years and although the company is no longer family-owned and there have been some production changes, the chocolate orange abides.
