My review of the Ritter Sport chocolate flavors available in the U.S. is one of my all-time most popular posts. I have been a Ritter Sport fan since a college trip to Germany: the brand combines my love for quality chocolate with a compulsive urge to collect the brightly colored packages and admire my personal chocolate rainbow. On a recent trip to Germany, I scoured every grocery store we came across for Ritter Sport flavors unavailable in the U.S., and I was delighted to discover three seasonal summer flavors. Like my previous post, the bars are rated as GET IT, YOUR CALL, or SKIP IT.
Although I haven't found these seasonal bars in any U.S. retail stores, they are widely available online.
- Brombeer Joghurt (blackberry yogurt): milk chocolate filled with blackberry yogurt and crispy rice bits. The intense blackberry flavor of filling actually overpowers the chocolate in the best possible way. There's also a refreshing yogurt tang and a lightness from the crispy rice, making this a perfect chocolate bar for summer. GET IT.
- Buttermilch Zitrone (buttermilk lemon): white yogurt chocolate with a buttermilk and lemon filling. Since there isn't any cocoa, this white chocolate is a change of pace from the typical Ritter Sport offering. But it's perfect for summer, with a creamy citrus tang reminiscent of key lime pie. GET IT.
- Eiscafe (iced coffee): milk chocolate with a creamy vanilla and coffee filling. While the filling is creamier than the regular Ritter Sport espresso bar, this flavor doesn't particularly evoke summer. Still, it's worth trying if you're a big coffee fan, so this one is YOUR CALL.
Have you tried Ritter Sport's summer flavors? Any tips on where to find them in the U.S.?
