Ritter Sport White Chocolate
March 4, 2011
I love chocolate—milk, dark, even white. Now I know many consider white chocolate to not be REAL chocolate. However, if it is labeled white chocolate, it must contain at least 20% cocoa butter and that makes it REAL and GOOD. My favorite to date had been Ghirardelli’s Vanilla Dream but now I have a new favorite and it is delicious...
While on my first visit to Germany this past summer, I tried many delicious Austrian, Swiss and German chocolate bars. I decided Ritter Sport was one of my favorite brands. When we returned home, I was pleased to discover a local store carried an assortment of mini bars in one box—7 different varieties, 10 bars to the box. I enjoyed each one—just some more than others. Each one had good chocolate flavor whether milk or dark.
After we arrived in Yuma this fall, I was further pleased to discover full-size Ritter Sport chocolate bars at my favorite Yuma supermarkets. I decided to try one I hadn’t tried before—White Chocolate with whole Hazelnuts. First sniff as I opened the wrapper was the roasted hazelnuts and crisped rice. The cocoa butter flavor followed once I took a bite. It is a very sweet bar but then sugar is the first (thus the largest quantity) ingredient. The chocolate is definitely creamy with the crunch coming from the nuts and the crispy rice.
This bar is not a typical bar shape. It is a square. The package is an eye-catching creamy yellow square with whole hazelnuts pictured. Pulling the entire bar out of the package you’re greeted with a 3½ x 3½ inch square, divided into 16 small squares. I bought the 3.5 oz. bar on sale for $1.99, but even at the regular price of $3.49, I would buy it again.
