The 'Toblorange' hybrid is the January miracle you’ve been waiting for
A new chocolate craze is sweeping social media, and it’s just as satisfying to build as it is to eat.
British author James Hannah became a viral sensation this week, after sharing a photograph of a Toblerone with segments of Terry’s Chocolate Orange wedged within its grooves.
Dubbed the ‘Toblorange’, the simple revelation has captured the interest - and stomachs - of Twitter users, who have been quick to recreate the chocolate treat at home.

Despite being the first person to coin the Toblorange, Hannah was kind enough to waive a copyright fee, stating that it was ‘the morally right thing to do’.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">And get this: I am waiving my copyright fee for your own Toblorange. You may recreate it free of charge. It's morally the right thing to do. — James Hannah.

The behemoth chocolate design even prompted Toblerone themselves to share feedback, tweeting to the author: ‘Better retire now, you’ve peaked’.

Is this the best way to beat Blue Monday? It’s certainly worth a try.
There’s just one downside though - it won’t sit well with your New Year diet plan.
