Are Ritter Sport candy bars higher quality than American candy bars?

Ritter Sport varieties vs Snickers, Almond Joy, Hershey, Mars, Milky Way, Twix tier candy bars.
Is Ritter better or really not much difference? I just randomly stumbled upon them and unsure what the reputation is. Really interesting flavors.

And does anyone know where I can find the cornflake and rum raisin ones?

Definitely yes. I lived abroad recently in a country where these were popular and I was all over them!

I'm pretty sure I've seen the cornflake one at Rodmans.

Love these. The mint is my fave. They sell them at Rodmans in NW DC and at Henry's in Bethesda.

Yes, the chocolate is much better than the base used in American candy. I love the Rum Raisin and Whole hazelnut!

Their packaging is so freaking alluring. The square, the simple pretty photos, distinct neat logo, and square pieces of chocolate inside. Genius, 10/10 packaging.

FYI, the one with the cracker/biscuit has palm oil as one of the top ingredients. Surprised and disappointing. Crackers/biscuits should be made with butter.

Their tag line is Quadratisch. Praktisch. Gut.

Yes, they are better than Hershey's but also more expensive. I paid 2.20 euros for a dark chocolate with nuts Ritter. A Hersheys would be about $1.

Any idea why they have "sport" in the name? It's hardly a food for athletes!

Yes. Higher butter fat content. Trader Joe's chocolate bars are great too.

Hershey is a cr@p candy bar. But some people like it more, but I think that's more nostalgia.

It's "sport" because it fits in a sport jacket. Which I don't really get, but whatever. Hershey's shape would fit better in my jackets, but I'm female.

Hershey's got cheap and got rid of cocoa butter in their chocolate bars:

I think their higher-end bars like Symphony still use it.

Love Ritter dark chocolate with hazelnuts. The marzipan one is good too.

Why is this even a question?

World Market usually has a very good selection. Milka too, if you like milk chocolate.
