If you haven't tried a Ritter Sport product, you are missing out on some of the best candy bars sold today. We do not get all 23 or so different varieties in the big box stores in the U.S., but you can always find 3 or 4 different bars at each store. While my absolute favorite candy bar is the Cadbury Dairy Milk, followed by the Ritter Sport Cornflakes bar, I'm slowly adding new Ritter Sport bars to my review list. I thought I'd start with a bar I've wanted to try for some time...and I happened to find it on clearance. I imagine the Ritter Sport Milk Chocolate with Butter Biscuit is very popular in the U.K. Our friends across the pond sure do love chocolate on biscuits (what we'd call a cracker in the U.S.).
Ritter Sport chocolate is a very good tasting chocolate. It is leap years above Hershey and Nestle chocolate, but it does not have a distinctive flavor like Cadbury chocolate, in my opinion. Ritter Sport bars are a very thick and bulky bar with 16 chocolate square sections. I love how thick these bars are and I've never ever purchased one that was broken, something I appreciate in a candy bar.
The biscuit inside this bar is slightly buttery and sweet with the consistency of a graham cracker. The biscuit is nice and crispy, so you get a nice snap from both the chocolate and the biscuit. I' m not sure how Ritter does this since the biscuit is sandwiched between chocolate layers, but it's amazing. I also do not understand how sugar is the first ingredient in these bars from Ritter, but yet the chocolate is always silky smooth and milky. Normally you'd need milk to be the first ingredient, like a U.K. Cadbury Dairy Milk bar, to get that smoothness, but Ritter pulls off something amazing with their bars, given the order of ingredients on the list.
I might buy this bar again, but it's hard to displace the Cornflakes Ritter Sport as my "go to" bar for Ritter Sport bars. With 23 different flavors, I'll eventually get back around to this one, but I have a lot of other ones to try too.

Ritter-Sport bars are certainly beautiful. And very different from other bars... they're square.
This biscuit one is another of their nicer-tasting bars.

I like this one. I bought it along with the cornflake bar...my first foray into Ritter Sport. Very good but I made the mistake of putting it in the fridge because it was so warm outside. Talk about a hard candy!

Thank you for commenting. I keep mine in the fridge most of the time but it's always a good idea to let them unthaw a bit before eating. They are so thick and when cold, they are difficult to bite into! Although I don't mind mine a little cold, but room temperature is probably best. Glad you liked the biscuit, it's a good bar to grab at the store and it's one of the easier Ritter Sport bars to buy.
