Rittersportmeisters in training: 9. Nugat (Nougat)
http://rittersportmeister.blogspot.com/2008/04/9-nugat-nougat.html
Sunday, April 20, 2008. I was feeling pretty cranky on Friday, and being the whiny lil' package of annoying self-pity that I am, I asked Dan if we could have the Nougat. Flavour that day. This has been one of my favourite flavours EVER. It just makes me happy, so I kind of needed it. I think my love for nougatty-scrumptiousness started ever since I was a youngin', and I have always obsessed over any nut/chocolate/creme concoction I could stuff into my piehole - Ferrero Rochers, nutella, etc. The Nugat Ri...

Rittersportmeisters in training: 8. Eierlikör (Special Spring Edition)
http://rittersportmeister.blogspot.com/2008/04/8-eierlikr-special-spring-edition.html
Thursday, April 17, 2008. 8 Eierlikör (Special Spring Edition). For some reason, this was the most evasive flavour of all. It was the only one missing from the Spring Edition trio ( Marc de Champagne. Eierlikör and Ramazzotti) at the supermarket. We kept an eye open for it everywhere: at smaller grocery stores, some gas stations, kiosks, and nothing. The Ritter Sport Challenge is in danger! After that endeavor, the Eierlikör (Eggnog). Ritter Sport was just BEGGING to be flavour of the day. It was on the ...

Rittersportmeisters in training: 1. Mandelsplitter (Bio)
http://rittersportmeister.blogspot.com/2008/04/1-mandelsplitter-bio.html
Tuesday, April 8, 2008. Today was Day 1. Of this tasty experiment, with the Mandelsplitter (Slivered Almonds). From the "Bio" line as inaugural flavour. It is made out of organic ingredients from all over the world: cacao from Ecuador, Peru and Nicaragua, almonds from Australia. Plus, I can be quite the cheapo. Just like any other organic product, the Bio line is a tad more expensive: the 65 g Bio bar for 99 cents, as opposed to the 100 g regular bar for 85 cents. I'm not sure I can handle that. The almo...

Rittersportmeisters in training: 10. Trauben Nuss (Raisin and Nuts)
http://rittersportmeister.blogspot.com/2008/04/10-trauben-nuss-raisin-and-nuts.html
Monday, April 21, 2008. 10 Trauben Nuss (Raisin and Nuts). The topic of raisins in chocolate has polarized opinions for years, almost to the extent of other CONTROVERSIAL subjects such as moustaches, cigarrettes, and George W. Bush. You either love it or you hate it. Luckily for me, I think that this particular dry fruit makes a tasteful complement to milk chocolate. Yay for more opportunities of being a GREEDY PIG! Today's flavour: the Trauben Nuss (Raisin Nuts). Sweetness: 3.5 out of 5. Raisins and Nut...

Rittersportmeisters in training: 4. Marc de Champagne (Spring Special Edition)
http://rittersportmeister.blogspot.com/2008/04/4-marc-de-champagne-spring-special.html
Friday, April 11, 2008. 4 Marc de Champagne (Spring Special Edition). Today's flavour was the Marc de Champagne. From the special Spring Edition. Of the Ritter Sport line - only available during the spring (le duh). I have never enjoyed any sort of liqueur in chocolate, but I was very curious to see how these master chocolate makers would translate the golden bubbly liquid of party and giggles into a block of rich rich sweetness. Sweetness: 1.5 out of 5. Texture: 4 out of 5. ARGH, JUST GERRAUT OF MY FACE!

Rittersportmeisters in training: 5. Ganze Mandel (Whole Almonds)
http://rittersportmeister.blogspot.com/2008/04/5-ganze-mandel-whole-almonds.html
Monday, April 14, 2008. 5 Ganze Mandel (Whole Almonds). What a happy day it was when my chubby little fingers drew out the Ganze Mandel (Whole Almonds). Ritter Sport from our treasured chocolate drawer. Although I've never had this particular Ritter Sport bar before, I could expect no surprises. How could you possibly go wrong with the quintessential almond-chocolate combination? Sweetness: 4 out of 5. Texture: 5 out of 5. Devourability: 4.5 out of 5. Frequency: 4 out of 5. Overall: 17.5 out of 20. Witho...

Rittersportmeisters in training: 11. Mousse au Chocolat (Chocolate Mousse)
http://rittersportmeister.blogspot.com/2008/04/11-mousse-au-chocolat-chocolate-mousse.html
Tuesday, April 22, 2008. 11 Mousse au Chocolat (Chocolate Mousse). We decided to break the routine during lunch today, and the whole bunch of us at work decided to go to the university cafeteria and snag ourselves some nice cheap food. After my 2 euro meal (no complaints here), I was ready to finish with a healthy banana for desert, but everyone started bombarding me with their leftover Chocolate Mousse. I really must have a face of desperation and constant hunger. Sweetness: 4.5 out of 5. The only reaso...

Rittersportmeisters in training: 12. Weisse Voll-Nuss (White Chocolate with Whole Nuts)
http://rittersportmeister.blogspot.com/2008/04/12-weisse-voll-nuss-white-chocolate.html
Wednesday, April 23, 2008. 12 Weisse Voll-Nuss (White Chocolate with Whole Nuts). Aah, the Weisse Voll-Nuss Rittersport. A lot of people I know have a snobbish attitude towards white chocolate, because it isn't "the real thing". Me, I'm not that picky. Even though it isn't my favourite variation of chocolate, I tolerate it, and once in a blue moon when I'm feeling WILDLY SPONTANEOUS, I will actually make a purchase. Sweetness: 4 out of 5. Texture: 5 out of 5. What an adventure of CHUNKINESS! Due to my lu...

Rittersportmeisters in training: 7. Feinherb 60% (Bio)
http://rittersportmeister.blogspot.com/2008/04/7-feinherb-60-bio.html
Wednesday, April 16, 2008. 7 Feinherb 60% (Bio). Since I had the honour of picking yesterday's flavour, it was only natural that Dan picked today's. Being the to-the-point MANLY MAN that he is, he settled promptly for the Feinherb 60% (Dark Chocolate 60%). Chocolate bar from the Bio. One of my favourite flavours from Ritter Sport is the Halbitter 50%, so I thought to myself, this is my chance to push the chocolate envelope. That's a little tropical vacation in a tiny chocolate square right there. Once ag...
