Ritter Schokowurfel
Instead of the regular sized bars, these miniatures are about the size of a regular Ritter Sport “section” ... and they’re filled as well! Kind of like little truffles. The variety is called in 6 pralingen Sorten ... which I’m guessing means an assortment of six pralines.
The wrappers are all distinctive enough in color combos that I got good at telling what they were at a glance.
Cappuccino & Amarettini was not one I was looking forward to, since I assumed it was going to be heavy on the amaretto (as the marzipan bar is), but it was much more focused on the coffee notes. Very sweet, so sweet it made my throat burn for a bit. Tiramisu on the other hand had that amaretto flavor, but distinctive marscapone note.
Caramel Crisp was kind of odd ... the filling was light in color but reminded more of the yogurt Ritter Sports. There were some dark caramelized sugar flavors in there and some light crispies that kind of redeemed the cloying sweetness. Crocant reminds me of the great Knusperflakes that Ritter makes, though I think it’s actually crisped rice ... the little crispy bits are inside a softer cocoa cream center. Simple, fun, tasty. The assortment had some nice variation and is a pleasant change from the monotony of buying a whole bar and being force to consume it before you can move on to another flavor (okay, maybe no one forces me). It’s easy to share them and they look pretty sassy in their simple little wrappers. I’d love it if some were dark chocolate though, as I think Ritter is making great strides in the dark department for a mass-consumer chocolate company. I have no idea how much my husband paid for this ... I can’t even find it on the Ritter website. I did see that they have another morsel-sized chocolate simply called Rum; if it’s anything like the Rum Trauben Nuss, I’m sold. Related Candies

Commenting is not available in this channel entry.O’m'gosh! I so want that box. I love how it unfolds. And the little choco squares are cute. That box filled with dark chocolate niblets would be ideal. What a nice hubby you have! I can’t imagine where to find that here.
> in 6 pralingen Sorten
It’s ” in 6 pralinigen Sorten”, actually. A “Praline” is a truffle, and I guess they made up the word “pralinig” - it would translate as “truffle-ly”. And a Sorte is a kind, or in food, a flavor.
Take a look at Parthenon Foods.

Could the winter mix be DARK chocolate? Hope they get stock in soon.
Oh my gosh! Please please please could you ask your hubby if he remembers where (even a general area) in New York he bought this?? This is the perfect gift for my boyfriend! I’m begging you!
A little trivia Schokowurfel means throwing chocolate.
