Because we are already familiar with Ritter Sports Chocolate we knew we were in for a treat, and thought we would be less formal in our considerations and adjourn to the sofa to conduct our review.
The packaging gave us a clue as to the delights ahead, even if some of the names in German didn’t sound as enticing. Vom Gluck might sound like something from a Bush Tucker Trial but really means, according to Darrell’s Google translator “Here is a piece of luck”.
Sttat Blumchen means “instead of flowers” and not white chocolate as we thought, Lass es Kracken – Lets Party Hard and finally Die Schaffst Du Und Alles Andere Auch - You Can And Everything else and not strawberry! All very romantic and intriguing!
Nigel who is very partial to a piece of white chocolate liked the Statt Blumchen best, it ticked all his boxes, especially creaminess.
Darrell’s favourite was the long winded and hard to type Die Schaffst Du Und Alles Andere Auch, which indeed had a line of strawberry through it, he was surprised that there was a crunch to it, but that added to his confectionary enjoyment, as well as the strawberries being one of his ten a day!
And I preferred the milk Vom Gluck, despite it’s dubious name, it was very creamy and satisfying. 
None of us were that keen on the Lass Es Kracken, though not dark chocolate or coffee as we thought (neither of which we really like), it didn’t really do anything for us, but again the slight crunch in the middle filling took us by surprise.
It has to be said that this was a very enjoyable review, but it’s always a sad moment when everything has been tried and all you are left with is a plate of empty wrappers ……
But, it was very kind of Ze Monkeys for the opportunity to explore Teutonic Chocolate which we may have never done without them.
And our score on our almost world famous Richter Scale of Noms? It has to be an indisputable 4 chains, 9 furlongs and 3 pecks in ancient measurements. What more can we say but nom, nom, nom!

Ze monkeys really came up trumps with all these wonderful confectioneries.
Wow-those chocolate bars sound great. You all say these names in German like you're fluent now-perhaps a different holiday location one year to use your new skills???
What!? You also have Ritter Sport in England? It was SO incredibly hard to find German confectionary that hasn't already made its way across the channel... And we were 100% sure we hadn't seen any Ritter Sport chocolate in Tesco Five Ways, plus we checked every item online just to be extra sure. Well, good thing you haven't had any of the flavours before and even better that you liked them, well, most of them. They should have a set of limited spring editions coming up, so maybe some more nomming lies ahead then.......
Oh and btw, should you ever go to Germany for a holiday, maybe Nigel would like to create his own flavour at the Ritter Sport Museum...
Oh I might have to slip out for a moment or two and head down to the nearest supermarket to make a considered chocolate purchase or three - you boyz have me drooling.......not a pretty sight! JantheFan x
This has been a delicious experience from beginning to end! Pure fun and what a great opportunity to sample such a large selection of German treats......Generous gift from Ze monkeys we all got to enjoy vicariously!..Best loving wishes from Dianne
Ze Monkeys, Tesco's Five Ways was my nearest supermarket when I lived in Brum as a student many years ago. I used to leave my bike in Auchinleck Square round about 1981....
