Why is this even a question?

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

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

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


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.

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


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.

Their tag line is Quadratisch. Praktisch. Gut.

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.

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

Is Ritter better or really not much difference? I just randomly stumbled upon them and unsure what the reputation is. Really interesting flavors.



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

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