The [Lindt Lindor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lindor-dark-70) Blood Orange Truffles are the latest addition to the brand's [signature range of chocolate truffles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lindor-pistachio-truffles) that offer a decidedly rich flavor that's offset with a touch of citrus flavor.

The chocolate truffles feature a Swiss chocolate shell with a blood orange chocolate center, which will offer a decadent, smooth consistency. The chocolates are being launched in the UK market where consumers will be able to pick home up in a variety of servings to enjoy themselves or offer to a loved one as a gift.

The company commented on the new [Lindt Blood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lindor-dark-70-mint) Orange Truffles saying, "After the busyness of the festive period, everyone deserves to indulge in a moment of bliss and enjoy life’s simple pleasures – something not everyone has been able to do amidst the recent challenging times in the UK."
