Perfect for Easter, the Terry's Chocolate Orange egg is filled with orange-flavoured cream and coated in dark chocolate.
Terry's answer to the Cadbury's Cream Egg, which was announced on Instagram last week, is selling for between 65p and 75p depending on the shop.
Fans were delighted to see it landing on Tesco and Aldi shelves this week - with other retailers including Sainsbury's, Asda, Morrisons, Co-op, Waitrose, Iceland, B&M and Poundland.
One shopper reviewed the treat on X, writing: "This is absolutely amazing!

"Lovely orange truffle like marzipan texture in the middle and surrounded by thick and crunchy chocolate.
"This is probably better than the original in my opinion. 10/10 all day long!"
They joined a chorus of other fans, with one writing: "They are so good. Just had a taste today."
Another said: "Definitely going to be scoffing these!"

And a third shared a recipe idea with the item, saying: "I made chocolate brownies with these the other day."
In their Instagram post, Terry's shared its own hack for making the treat even more delicious.

They said: "The gooey creamy center gets even better when it's left at room temperature, or pocket temperature if you're planning on hiding it from others."
Unless the cream eggs are left in a warm room or pocket, it seems the centre remains quite firm in texture.
Some shoppers have raised doubts about this, with one saying: "It's absolutely delicious but the middle should be creamier."
It comes after just a month after a TikToker shared a little-known Terry's product from back in the day - the Chocolate Apple.
The influencer, with the handle , explained: "In 1926, Terry's Chocolate Works, a family run factory in York, released a dessert chocolate apple.
"It did pretty well, so in 1932 they released a dessert chocolate orange, which did really well.";
Of course, the 1932 dessert chocolate orange is the product we all know and love today.
With 44 million zesty treats sold globally each year, the brand has to tread carefully so as not to offend die-hard fans with new flavours.

How to save money on chocolate
We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs...
Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars.
Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal.
Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced.
They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.
Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.
So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
