Jaffas is a small round sweet consisting of a soft chocolate centre with a hard covering of orange flavoured and coloured confectionery. The name derives from the Jaffa orange. The sweet is part of Australian and New Zealand cultural folklore.
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 lolly, Jaffa is sometimes used to describe a chocolate-orange flavour.
