Review! Mini Ritter Sport

Cuteness alert! These adorable mini Ritter Sport were very kindly sent to me for review by Monster Sweets. Each mini Ritter Sport is a diminutive 16.6g in size, which equates to a four chunks squared bar - ideal for a snack sized serving.

Ritter Sport Hazelnuss

The Ritter Sport Hazelnuss is a milk chocolate with crunchy pieces of chopped roasted hazelnuts.

As always the Ritter Sport milk chocolate here is deliciously smooth, creamy and sweet. There is no hazelnut flavour in the chocolate itself, unlike the Noisette bar I reviewed previously, but the hazelnut pieces do provide a lovely nutty flavour and crunchy texture. It's a simple enough chocolate but one that is very well executed. (8 out of 10)

Ritter Sport Nugat

I found the Ritter Sport Nougat slightly strange, only because my hitherto experience of nougat has been quite different to what I found here. I was expecting a white honey flavoured filling with chopped nuts, but instead found a smooth praline. That's not to say the bar itself isn't tasty. It provides more of the delicious Ritter Sport milk chocolate, this time coupled with a smooth "hazelnut and cocoa praline". It's another satisfying combination of nutty flavour and milk chocolate. (7 out of 10).

Ritter Sport Joghurt

There are plenty of chocolate bars with fruity yogurt centres, usually strawberry flavoured, but I've never tried one with a plain yogurt filling. It might sound unusual, but this combination of creamy milk chocolate and tangy yogurt really works perfectly together. It's sweet but tart at the same time. (8.5 out of 10).

Ritter Sport Knusperkeks

A more traditional combination is presented with this Ritter Sport Knusperkeks (shortbread biscuit). It's basically a whole biscuit wrapped in the deliciously sweet and creamy Ritter Sport milk chocolate. Ultimately this is more of a glorified chocolate biscuit rather than an actual chocolate bar, but it's still a very tasty one! (7.5 out of 10).

Ritter Sport Edel-Vollmilch

Lastly, a mini bar of Ritter Sport Edel Vollmilch, which translates as Fine Milk Chocolate. It's a 35% minimum cocoa solids milk chocolate, a higher content than the previous bars above (they were mostly 30% minimum). The chocolate melt here is extremely silky and smooth, with a richer cocoa flavour, and slightly less sweetness overall. The stronger chocolate flavour is particularly suited to this smaller size of bar, and it's an ideal introduction to the Ritter Sport range. (8.5 out of 10).
