Yep, it's break-apart slices of chocolate. You knock it on a table and they separate. I used to like them, and either I can't find the brand I used to get or my tastes have changed, because the ones I have tried in the past few years just aren't good.

(I do like orange + chocolate still, in a chocolate bar!)

I remember the ones that you had to break apart from when I was a kid. The modern ones are all cast so that there's nothing to break apart; you just grab a little slice of the sphere.

The modern ones are cast, but last time I checked still require some force to break the slices off their central sprue / core. What were the older ones you're referring to if they weren't cast like that? Now I am curious lol.

There used to be two main brands. But you can only seen to find Terry's now. They were not the good brand. It's sad really

I've only known Terry's. Now I'm curious what I'm missing out on!

Might be ferrera. I haven't seen them since I was a kid but they might still exist

or my tastes have changed, because the ones I have tried in the past few years just aren’t good.

chances are that as you get older, your taste changes. i liked lots of sweets when i was younger and now i just can't stand them anymore.

also yeah, recipes have changed as well. factories want to make their food "healthier" so it appeals to the consumer who tries to watch their diet and as a consequence they often use less artificial flavors (i actually don't have a data source on that, it's just my personal impression/observation). like everything used to be chock-full of artificial flavors in the mid 20th century, and now they're not so much anymore.
