Ritter Sport

Well, chocolate fever is catching on and now my friends have begun supplying me with new and unique chocolate products for me to blog about. They've come through yet again, this time with Ritter Sport.

Ritter Sport is a company founded by Alfred Ritter in 1912 in Germany. It has stayed in the family ever since and has stood out with its unique bars. Just about every company who makes chocolate makes a standard chocolate bar. Ritter Sport bars stand apart because the bars are hollow and filled with one of chocolate's best friends such as nuts, marzipan, or cappuccino.

The bar that I have is milk chocolate with a butter biscuit. When biting into the bar I can see the molded chocolate shell with the biscuit inside. It is then filled with more chocolate. The biscuit reminds me somewhat of a graham cracker and is a delightful crunch inside the smooth chocolate. The chocolate itself is pretty sweet.

While the bar itself is huge, (3.5oz/100g) it's high in calories and saturated fat - Not meant to be eaten in one sitting, but if you know me I probably could.

There are over 25 varieties of bars, with some fillings as unique as cornflakes, raisins and hazelnuts, and yogurt. I'd be interested to try some of the other varieties.

Overall a 7 out of 10 on the Chocolate Emergency! scale.
