Ritter Sport Cornflakes

This Ritter Sport bar came from Target. At $1.99, Target’s Ritter Sport bars are the best deal I’ve ever seen. I was a bit surprised to see that Target carried the Cornflakes bar, “with crispy-crunchy cornflakes”. It’s an unusual combination to find in the States, but a tasty one! The cornflakes were more or less…

Milk Chocolate Taste Test

The folks at Serious Eats taste test a bunch of milk chocolate bars, including the new-ish Ghirardelli Luxe Milk bars that I’m pretty fond of. They were less fond of Green and Black’s. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten beef jerky notes from chocolate before…

Ritter Sport Dark Whole Hazelnut

This is the second of the Ritter Sport bars that I bought in Spain. Those two made me want to try more, so I did. I picked up a couple more at Target (they were only $1.99!), which gave me enough bars to make this a Ritter Sport review week. The Dark Whole Hazelnuts (or…

I knew the blue ones were better!

Because I write my news stories far in advance, this guy is really late breaking, and it got a lot of press when it first came out. But I’m writing about it anyway because… Blue M&Ms have always been my favorite. If I have a bag of M&Ms all to myself, I pick them out…

Haribo TropiFrutti

I bought these Haribo TropiFrutti somewhere in Spain. I saw them in lots of shops in Europe, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen them in the U.S. The texture of these really sets them apart. They have this weird shell that’s hard to the touch and sort of tough to chew. It reminds me…

Mango Hi-Chews

I’ve never had the pleasure of eating a fresh mango in tropical Asia, but I can imagine just how scrumptious they could be. According to this article in Gourmet magazine, I don’t have to imagine. I just need to track down some mango Hi-Chews, which are better than the real thing. I admit that I’ve…

Happy Labor Day!

We never got Labor Day off at Yale. Now that I’m graduated and working, I do get the day off! Except I chose to trade working Labor Day for taking a later Monday off, thus making my birthday weekend a 3-day weekend and giving me enough time to drive down to New Haven to see…

Ritter Sport Butter Biscuit

This Ritter Sport Butter Biscuit was one of the more… inane purchases that I picked up in Spain. Ritter Sport bars are pretty easy to find in the States, but they usually run $2.50 and up, and this guy was only a Euro, so I bought it (and another one that I’ll review later) to…
