Ugh. I have had a horrible week! I was sick, Spencer was sick... pretty much the whole family was sick. Since I've had such a tough go of it lately, I decided to treat myself to one of my favorite indulgences: a Ritter Sport bar.
Ritter Sport has long been one of my favorite candy bars. I'm a first generation American on my mom's side, and as kids my brother and I always got packages from Germany containing all kinds of candy. I loved the milk chocolate Ritter Sport bar with raisins and hazelnuts... yummy! Nowadays there are all kinds of flavors, and I don't have to wait for my German relatives to send them to me. Finding Ritter Sport is as easy as making a trip to your local Target, which is where I happened to find this dark chocolate and hazelnut bar.
And it is a really good bar. The chocolate is smooth and creamy, and it's smoky without being bitter. And the hazelnuts! There are so many of them; you can't take a bite without getting a mouthful, and that's not a complaint. The nuts are crunchy and flavorful, and they add just the right balance to the chocolate. It took a lot of self control to stop at one serving instead of devouring the whole bar.
The "normal" 100g Ritter Sport bars are pretty hefty; one bar has three servings. Fortunately, the company has made it easy to save some for later. The bars can be broken into rows, and the package it comes in can be resealed. All in all, it's a great value for the price.
Ritter Sport bars aren't too hard to find. They're sold at Target, Whole Foods, amazon.com, and Cost Plus World Market. You can also find some of the hard to find flavors, such as Blueberry Yogurt or Irish Coffee, at Germany's Best or German Deli.

I love hazelnuts, so I'm definitely going to give this a try. What do you think of the Blueberry Yogurt flavor that you mentioned? Some "yogurt" flavored candies are disgusting.
I actually haven't been able to find the blueberry yougurt flavor, but I'm trying like crazy to get my hands on it! I usually like the "tangy" sort of yougurt flavors... the kind that you usually find paired with chocolate. I'm not that fond of yougurt covered things, though; those candies are a little too sweet for me!
I have found some yougurt-and-berry filled chocolates, and I plan on reviewing them... as soon as they get here from Germany!
