For my money, the absolute best chocolate bar in the entire world is the Ritter Sport Rum-Raisin-Hazelnut bar. It’s like a Chunky for grownups. They don’t put as much rum in it as they used to — I swear you could get a little tipsy eating an entire bar back then — but it’s still tops with me.
Now, Cybele at Candy Blog tells us that Ritter makes minis! Unfortunately, rum-raisin-hazelnut is not one of the varieties. The Ritter website says the choices are “Crispy Biscuit” (my least favorite Ritter bar, I think), Hazelnut, “Crispy Flake” (crunchy corn flakes…hmmmm…), Marzipan (also not a favorite of mine), Whole Milk Chocolate, Nougat, and Yogurt-Filled. However, Cybele’s post has completely different flavors: coconut creme, caramel, crispy rice, tiramisu, and capuccion & amaretti.
Though you occasionally might find Ritter bars in unexpected places, my experience is that you only find them in gourmet food shops, import stores, and other places that cater to high-end food, so you might not have an easy time finding them, but they’re definitely worth seeking out. I know I’ll be looking for the minis now.
