This bar is a great example of a bar that tastes great, but doesn’t really deliver what’s promised. This makes this bar really hard to review, because there was not one part of this bar that tasted bad, and the texture is very good. However, there was a pretty big assortment of flavours that were promised, and half of them never really materialized. I feel like this can be a problem with brands like Ritter Sport, who make great chocolate bars, and have a history of great chocolate. Sometimes these brands over extend the ideas and don’t really deliver the complex blends of flavours. The chocolate and even in this case the almonds were great, but everything else fell very short.

The two missing flavours were honey and sea-salt. I figure that the honey is probably the hardest to get through since honey is mostly just sweet, and the milk chocolate is also pretty sweet. One might assume that most of the sweet came from the honey, but I really didn’t taste it. The salt on the other hand could have been a bit stronger. I never really tasted any salt exactly, there were just traces of a salty flavour every so often. Salt works with both chocolate and almonds, so they could have easily turned up the salt flavour a lot and it would have worked.

The only reason you should avoid this bar is if for some reason you’re really craving the combination of honey and sea-salt. If you want a bar that’s got wonderfully toasted almonds in a perfectly flavoured and textured chocolate, than this is the bar for you. You might get a hint of salt, but it’s most certainly not the main part of this bar at all. I’m not complaining about this bar based on how much I liked eating it, but I am disappointed that I didn’t get to experience the flavour combination that was promised.
