Ritter Sport C/D, S/D

The answer is classic, of course, but what's your favourite Ritter Sport flavour?

White chocolate and lemon is exqusite! But you can't get those in Finland. :(

you certainly can't get that here either because that sounds awesome. We seam to be limited to the more mundane ones such as hazelnut, or biscuit.

Yeah, I've only bought it in Germany. Finland gets just the more mundane ones too.

Curse the germans for keeping the good chocolate to themselves.

Of course this thread means I now have to track one down and buy it. I'm hoping Giant Eagle is where I found them before.

I'm currently badly addicted to Cornflake flavour. I've just finished a whole 100g 'knickpack'.

Marzipan.

The one disappointing flavour I've tried so far is "butter biscuit" - promised much...

Hmm, I can't find any info on the lemon Ritter Sport on their German page either. Maybe they've stopped producing it?

Here is proof that it once existed:

And it was actually white chocolate, lemon, and yoghurt. Kinda sad if they don't make it anymore, I've never tasted a chocolate quite like it.

I guess "Sommer Sorte" means it was only a temporary product.

Are you sure you didn't just imagine this, then photoshop it, Tuomas? Then again, I like the idea of including fantasy Ritter Sport flavours.

I would like this one

CORNFLAKES MUTHATFUCKAHS

oh shit there's a spekula one???

i "spekulate" that i would enjoy that

Would be even better if it were Spekuloos not Spekulatius because that would probably be the best flavour ever.

The marzipan ones are rad. Like the nutty ones too. Pleased there is now an Aldi 10 minutes from my house as they sell the multipacks of minis, though I no longer have anywhere to buy the full-sized ones as the place I used to get them no longer stocks them.

When last in Germany I bought like 5 multipacks thinking they would be gifts for family (as I'd never seen them before then) and then ate them all myself. Om nom etc.

CORNFLAKES MUTHATFUCKAHS

THIS.

My Dad is going to visit my family there next month. I should send him with a list of all the flavors we can't get here to bring back for me.

I need to try the spekula one. mmmmmmm.

whats the diff?

Spekulatius is a crunchy caramel bicuit, often given with coffee in the Benelux Countries. Speculoos is a chewy caramel waffle disc that you can balance on top of your coffee until it goes gooey in the warmth. Hagen Dasz did a speculoos flavour in the UK for a while and it was amazing.

Horrible word, makes me think of one of these:

OK, I am now confusing speculoos with stroopwaffles, we need one of our native Nederlandse spreker to come and help us.

In short I think spekulatius and speculoos are the same thing now.

another vote for CORNFLAKES MUTHATFUCKAHS

also, rum rasin

I have no idea about this specu-whatever business, but
chewy caramel waffle disc that you can balance on top of your coffee until it goes gooey <- definitely a stroopwafel, and the reminder is much appreciated as I have two packets of them in my cupboard at home which are already a little past their sell-by, so epic stroopwafel banquet required this weekend I reckon

i thought the crunchy caramel biscuit was called speculaas, not speculoos or w/e?

whatever it is called it comes in spreadable form, as I have just discovered:

http://shop.belgianshop.com/acatalog/ODLOT0002-BIG.jpg

whaaaaaaaaaaa

how does that even

Europe is an area of the world with several different countries and languages in it, and they all dig crunchy spicy caramel biscuits and have their own names for them.

Ritter search: cornflakes, anything with booze in it; destroy: mint, also any flavor that you buy for a long car trip and then forget until it is inedibly melted.

Coconut, with marzipan as a close second

I've definitely had something lemon-related by ritter but I thought it was more like a lemon meringue type thing. I am going past the shop where I bought it yesterday so I shall have a look. In any case marzipan is my favourite. The white choc/nut one three from the bottom looks promising.

I really like the joghurt filling - rich, waxy and sour - though I haven't had the lemon stuff.

I wonder if they do some kind of salty licorice flavour for Finland, land of Salmiakki?

I've never seen this one!

^WANT

actually the concept of ramazzotti and chocolate is blowing my mind.

The new biscuit and nut flavour looks promising.

I got a white chocolate and hazelnut one. The package included a special bonus insect crawling around in there. It was kind of terrifying.

This was two months ago.

Protein!

Or rather - extra protein!

If you ever want to see the full assortment, stop for gas at one of them huge ass Autobahn rest stations in Germany sometime.

It seems they've opened up their own boutique in Berlin.

don't get the love for cornflakes - too sweet, I would probably love a dark chocolate version of it though

thanks to you bastards I'm going to visit the supermarche and pick out a new flavor to try

The shop/cafe looks great. Never seen mini's in the UK.

Great thread. I was just thinking about these yesterday as I was munching on one of the marzipan ones.

I would also just like to take this opportunity to defend the poor lonely butter biscuit against this vindictive defamation. I love butter biscuit in fact it's actually my favourite Ritter Sport. If the Germans cancel butter biscuit I blame YOU, Daniel Giraffe.

Has anyone wondered what makes it "Sport"? When I started eating these I always wondered if there was another, original model of Ritter that was somehow inconvenient, unwieldy, or non-portable.

According to the Ritter-sport site:

1932 Birth of the Square

The chocolate square is launched. Clara Ritter’s proposal to produce a square chocolate bar quickly meets with agreement in the family. Her argument: “We’ll make a chocolate that fits into the pocket of every sports jacket, doesn’t break, and still weighs the same as a normal long bar of chocolate.” The chocolate square is named “Ritter’s Sport Chocolate”. Included in the assortment are long chocolate bars, pralines, and Easter and Christmas articles.

So yeah, apparently they did use to produce unwieldy chocolate, but I think these days they only do the "sport" variety.

Here was me thinking the sport referred to how fit and active you feel after consuming 100g of the stuff.

If the Germans do get rid of Butter Biscuit flavour (xxpost) I will accept full responsibility.

Wish I could find the coconut kind still.

so the buttermilk-lemon one is very good!

as is the other summer flavor, Himmlische Beere, which is like the strawberry yogurt ones but with raspberry

in Germany for two weeks so I am basically gonna live off of these (the competition is basically gummy bears so)

'Sport' lol

Dauwd's homage ist gut:

"Sport" because convenient to take with you skiing or hiking. Germans and Austrians been doping with candy forever.

went to a sausage market because i saw a swabian spaetzle recipe that said to serve with something called "saitanwurst". it was only after i got there and faced a befuddled sausage specialist that i googled it and found out that "saitanwurst" is, for reasons unknown to me, what the swabians call vienna sausage.

but! they also had a decent array of ritter sport. i finally got one of the knusperflakes to try (it's a standard but i have had the hardest time getting past dark chocolate marzipan..) i also got haferkeks and joghurt, which the package says is a fruhlings-spezialitat but i don't even care, it sounds yum, dark chocolate with almond and orange, and milk chocolate with cocoa mousse filling. i will try to remember to update.

The coconut ones are Bounties with notions but are very good especially if kept in the fridge

Literally eating the mint one right now

C

The last couple I've got seem to taste different, kind of waxier? Maybe I'm just being paranoid

not sure about titter sport

haha thanks phone

all-new mouthfeel

I feel like Ritter GmbH's era of innovation is over.

We had a box of mini Ritters that’s running out this week...idk, I didn’t care for the cornflake one at all? Hazelnut and coconut are still my favourites.

the caviar-and-salmon-paste dark chocolate bar never got past the development phase

Cornflake is incredible lol

It’s not honestly, I love cornflakes and it was so disappointing! Flakes are too small and barely worth mentioning

I got my other half a box of mini Ritters and he's nearly eaten them all and I haven't sampled any, so have nothing to contribute, sorry

likewise gyac. was disappointed by the cornflake one.

hazelnut and milk chocolate and obv the salted honey roast almond one are the best. i may have said this before.

whenever i eat a rittersport i always say to myself "rittehshport" in what i assume is a german accent but is probably more akin to dutch

every rittersport is beautiful (although i haven't tried the cornflake one i must admit)

I think you have to say the "r" in the middle for it to be a German accent. "Rittehshport" sounds like the way I pronounce German, and I generally get told I speak it with a French accent.

Flakes are too small and barely worth mentioning

Friendship ended with poster gyac over this

my favorite is the praline one that's basically filled with gianduja truffle. A little too sweet but still really good.

All of them are delicious except for the yogurt and dark chocolate ones. Dark chocolate sucks because it's a self-defeating sweet.

hazelnut and milk chocolate and obv the salted honey roast almond one are the best. i may have said this before.

@Lily Dale: They used to include gianduja paste in so many of their flavors but they stopped a year or so ago. It was a big deal in my Nutella Addict Anonymous group.

the festive limited editions were kinda pish

Mint and only mint.

The salted honey almond ones are sooooooo good otm

yeah this is my favorite too.

Dark chocolate sucks because it's a self-defeating sweet.

a what now

some are saying the best sweet is a tablespoon of sugar scooped directly onto the tongue

Mint chocolate is the grossest of all, fite me.

Dark>>>>>Semi-Sweet>>>>>>>>>>>Milk>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>White

Whoops, I read that as Milk not Mint.

Don't think I've ever had the Mint Ritter?

Dark chocolate marbled with high-quality milk chocolate is the best thing because you get the flavor of the dark and the meltiness of the milk chocolate. Sometimes I make mendiants that are half dark, half milk - you just do two swooshes with the back of a spoon and make a little yin-yang symbol on parchment paper.

YSI?

Milk >>>>>>>>>>> semi-sweet >>>>>> white >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> dark.

Pure dark chocolate is for grownup snobs – what's left of the sweet-toothed kid in me is willing to die on this hill.

Putting white chocolate that high is just trolling

Into my veins.

there are a few vegan ones out at the moment - 'milk' chocolate with sesame, dark chocolate with almond and quinoa, dark chocolate with hazelnut and amaranth. sesame one is probably good though likely very sweet, but c'mon why they gotta make all the vegan stuff so weird?

(don't answer that please)

Mint chocolate is the grossest of all, fite me.

Also the yogurt ones rule

mint chocolate and orange chocolate are miles ahead of all other chocolate, and the only acceptable dark chocolate is with sea salt, there that should end the argument.

Orange chocolate is okay-ish, and sea salt does indeed make dark chocolate more palatable. Mint chocolate is an abomination, however. Deep within your heart of hearts, you know this to be true.

mint chocolate is nice but not for 100 entire grams

as far as ritters go I tend to go for one of the whole hazelnut ones

All the nutty ones are top-notch. I can even roll with dark whole hazelnuts if I'm in the right mood.
