The same construction as the peppermint bar with the flavour swapped: a bubbled orange centre under a plain outer layer. Orange has an advantage in an aerated bar that it doesn't have elsewhere. Limonene is volatile as well as fat soluble, so it evaporates readily, and a bubbled centre full of trapped gas releases those aromatics the moment the structure collapses. It's a sharper bar than the milk one for that reason, without anything acidic actually being added. Orange also survives aeration better than most flavours. The process is a warm one, and delicate aromatics can be driven off by it, while citrus oils are robust enough to come through intact.
