An Open Letter to Ritter Sport
Dear Ritter Sport,
I will get straight to the point.
I’ve fallen in love with your chocolate.
- Perhaps I shouldn’t be. (How many Cocoa Mousses is it safe for a girl to eat in a week, anyway?!)
- Perhaps the feeling isn’t mutual. (What else would explain Coconut and Peppermint and Espresso – three flavors I long to try – not being available where I live?)

- Perhaps it is because of the size. It’s the perfect amount for a splurge night when I want my fill of chocolate. (Yes. I can easily eat a whole Ritter Sport in one sitting. Stop looking at me like that.)
- Perhaps it is because of the packaging. Who can resist chocolate when it is packaged in such gorgeous hues? Praline is a deep, stunning blue. The aforementioned Peppermint is one of my favorite shades (a cross between teal and turquoise and aqua). Pretty in pink: Strawberry Cream. There’s more, but I think you get the idea.
- Last but not least, perhaps – no, not perhaps – it is because of the taste. Rich. Creamy. Flavorful. If the bar has nuts, the chocolate is chock-full of them. If the bar has cream, there’s a nice thick layer instead of a barely-there taste.

Please don’t change a thing (except for maybe offering more flavors in more locations).
Your chocolate is perfect just the way it is.
Signed,
An Admirer
