Jaffas (candy)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

for other uses of the term Jaffa, see Jaffa (disambiguation)

Jaffas is the registered trademark for a small round sweet consisting of a soft chocolate centre with a hard covering of orange flavoured and coloured candy. The name derives from the colour of oranges from Jaffa, Israel. Jaffas have often been sold in movie theatres and have gained iconic status because of the noise made when they are dropped (accidentally or deliberately) and rolled down sloping wooden floors. Through association with this candy, Jaffa is sometimes used to describe a chocolate-orange flavour.

The Coles generic brand are appropriately named "Choc Orange Balls."

The original manufacturer of “Jaffas” is the Cadbury Chocolate and Confectionery Company, based in Dunedin, New Zealand.
