There are new chocolate (and mint) oranges this year. They have a cream filling inside each slice. Good, but not as good as the original (especially the dark chocolate orange).

I have in storage 2 dark chocolate, 2 milk chocolate, and (new this year), 2 white chocolate oranges.
I haven't seen the other kind yet. I will be looking. I'm skipping the chocolate orange with the pop rocks in it, though. That's just... weird.

The ones you're referring to are branded "Ovation"? Milk and dark chocolate orange versions, plus a mint version, and a raspberry version? I haven't seen these here yet.

Chocolate oranges were never my thing. I like breaking them, but I leave the eating to others. That being said, I do love eggnog.

I honestly prefer the Queen Anne chocolate cherries, got a bit of a cream in them and are delicious. Haven’t found much in the way of chocolate oranges.

I find Queen Anne's cherries to be too gritty and sickly-sweet. I go for Cella's instead, which has a liquid instead of that fondant inside with the cherry.

Really? Hm, I’ll have to try Cella’s and see the difference. So far I buy about 10-12 boxes a year when I crave them. Nobody else likes them so works for me. Usually around Christmas they drop the price under $1.

We bought one and ate it, so I don't have the box to check the brand. The endcap (at Menards) had pics of the orange and mint (but only orange actually there), no mention of the raspberry. Wife doesn't like mint and chocolate together (can't understand that at all!), and I'm not fond of raspberry, so the orange was perfect.

That still wouldn't allow me to reach my quota for the year.

No, but it is still a nice thought anyway. Think about this then, I will now be working from 7AM until almost 7PM almost everyday for the next few weeks.
