Ritter Sport "Alpine Milk Chocolate"

Ritter Sport

There’s a common expression in the food world that says, if you’re going to make something simple you’d better make it perfectly. Some might call this bar simple, and I would argue that Ritter Sport has made it perfectly. Those who would call this bar simple would say that it’s just milk chocolate, with nothing extra added, a simple milk chocolate bar. I would argue that a simple milk chocolate bar is in fact that more complicated bar to make. I believe this because there are so many “simple” milk chocolate bars that just don’t work. I would also say that by complicating milk chocolate, adding extra ingredients, you’re actually making the bar simpler. After all, you don’t have to use high quality chocolate if you have a bunch of caramel, nuts or whatever else you might put into a chocolate bar.

I believe that Ritter Sport holds a spot as one of the top mass produced chocolate bars in the world. They not only have some really fascinating creations out there, but when they make a “simple” bar, they make it very well. I believe that just about anyone in the world who appreciates milk chocolate will like this bar. It may not be your favourite, but it’s certainly going to satisfy. The fault you might find is that it’s much creamier than some other milk chocolate bars. This really isn’t that big a fault for me, but some people prefer their milk chocolate on the darker side.

It’s not surprising that this bar is creamier since it’s an “Alpine Milk Chocolate” bar. I assume that the milk is from the hills of Germany, and I assume that cows in the hills make better milk, but I have nothing to prove that.

This is not the best milk chocolate bar I’ve ever eaten, but I would recommend that every person out there who appreciates milk chocolate, give this bar a try. While it’s simple, it’s an example of how to simply the very complicated art of making a very fine milk chocolate bar.
