Taste Testing Ritter Sport Colorful Chocolate Bar Varieties

Disclosure: I received Ritter Sport chocolates from Tryazon in order to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own. I may collect a share of sales from the links on this page if you decide to shop from them.

         Chocolate is one of my favorite sweet treats. I often reach for some when I need a snack. I really like German chocolate, so I was delighted to try some Ritter Sport confections. They offer numerous varieties of distinct flavors. Since the chocolate comes in colorful chocolate squares, I decorated my dining table with this theme in mind. I set out the chocolate on top of a bright tablecloth to get ready for a rainbow-colored taste test.


            The dark chocolate with 50% cocoa, Whole almonds, and Hazelnuts began my sampling journey. Each of these 3 were not bitter tasting, like most dark chocolates tend to be. Also, these flavors had a hard texture that made them difficult to snap into perfect squares. On the other hand, the fourth dark chocolate was quite easy to break off into the perforated squares due to the interior's softer texture. The marzipan tasted as one would expect.


            Next on my chocolate tasting journey were 6 milk chocolates. The Alpine, Whole almonds and Hazelnut bars were similar in quality to the dark chocolates. That is, each reminded me of the standard higher in price chocolates that I have eaten before. The tastes were traditional with no surprise ingredients. However, I saved the more distinct flavors for last. Ending my chocolate tasting with a sampling of three unique milk chocolates. The Butter biscuit and cocoa creme reminded me of an inverted Petit ecolier biscuit. The Cornflakes reminded me of a crunchier and saltier version of ChocoFlakes. On the other hand, a surprise favorite to me was the Honey sea-salt almonds. This bar stood out to me as it was pretty sweet, and I could not detect a hint of salt. Overall, I had a good time taste testing Ritter Sports chocolates. From traditional flavors to more creative ones, the varieties offered are plentiful and delicious. In short, each inspires a colorful chocolate celebration for you to enjoy with every bite.

Saffron Road's Delicious Plant Based Meal Options

Disclosure: I acquired products from Saffron Road in order to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own. I may collect a share of sales from the link on this page if you decide to shop from it. 

      Saffron Road's offers a variety of vegetarian meal options that are easy to prepare, healthy, and delicious. Depending on how much prep time you have, you can choose to spend more time incorporating fresh ingredients into your meal or popping a frozen item in the microwave for a quick lunch.

      The first two Saffron Road Food product's I sampled were the lemon grass simmer sauce and the crunchy sea salt chickpeas. Since I eat  plant based dishes, I made a green curry with tofu, corn, and potatoes entree using the lemon grass simmer sauce. I served it over a bed of saffron rice. I was surprised at how mild and sweet the curry sauce tasted, as it seemed to have a lot of different peppers listed in the ingredients. As a garnish, I sprinkled a small handful of Saffron Road Crunchy sea salt chickpeas. They also make for a yummy savory snack.

      The third Saffron Road product I tried was the frozen Vegetable Pad Thai. The rice noodles are a good texture, the tofu is on the spongier side, and I liked the softness of the peanuts. This entree was fast and easy to prepare. Whenever I am craving Asian cuisine and I only have a bit of time to cook, I will definitely choose something from Saffron Road. Not only were the dishes simple to heat, but they were also made from healthy and quite flavorful ingredients.
