RITTERSPORT

Rittersport chocolate bars, made by Alfred Witter GmbH in Waldenbuch, south of Stuttgart, are in my view the best chocolate bars in the world. The 4x4, 16-chunk, square bars are made in a lot of different flavours; but the best are the ones in the brown wrapper, milk chocolate with whole hazelnuts.

I was reminded of this today when I bought one this afternoon at the local supermarket. It was a beautifully cold but sunny spring day, and I was rendering the foundation of the barn. A whole Rittersport was just what was needed to keep my spirits up.
