If I could pinpoint the one main culprit thwarting my attempt to lose weight in Berlin it is this: Ritter Sport. Damn you, Ritter Sport. Your 100 gram square shaped bars that come in over thirty different delectable flavors costing less than a Euro certainly aren't helping my cause to lose my blogger belly.

Sitting down at our kitchen table, at our apartment in Berlin, we sampled each color coated package one by one. Indeed, we have an underprivileged life. For today's video you are in for a sweet treat - quite literally - because we are in Germany and we've decided to taste test a few of our favorite chocolates. Chocolate. The brand we are testing is Ritter Sport. We have six different varieties - let's show them. So you've got three in your hand and I've got three in mine. We're going to be trying all of these and letting you know what our favorites are. Now the first thing to know is that there is a special way to open these. Audrey is going to show us. I'm a pro - watch this! Okay, that one malfunctioned. One more. You just crack it open and ooh la la - chocolate! Okay, the first kind we're going to be trying is this yellow pack and it is a corn flake chocolate. It is regular milk chocolate but stuffed with cornflakes. I've never had chocolate with corn flakes but I like both things, so I have high expectations here. I've had this before and it is one of my favorites. So a bite each. Oh, wow, that is a crunchy one. How do you like it? It's amazing. It reminds me of a chocolate we have in North America - I think it is called Crunch or Crunchy. It is like the Crunchy bar but this is better. The next one we're trying is the red package - this is Marzipan. It is basically an almond paste made with honey and sugar. That is the filling inside of this chocolate. It also looks like it is a darker chocolate. I'm not a fan of dark chocolate because I prefer milk chocolate. We'll see how this goes. Here. That is very rich and decadent. Do you like it? Okay, now this is the one I've been really wanting to have. I'm a huge fan of peppermint chocolate and Ritter Sport is high quality chocolate so I have very high expectations for this. Okay. Let's give it a try. Oh, wow! What do you think? It's a lot like those After Eight really thin chocolate strips - that is what it reminds me of. Yeah, that is really good. It is also like the Junior Mints that we have in North America as well. Last but certainly not least we have coconut. I'm a huge coconut fan. Do you think you're going to like this one? I've actually been having this chocolate when Sam is not around. I go into the supermarket and get a square for myself and gobble it up. I'm just finding this out now. That is evil. Here you go. That is the best one in my opinion. This looks so good that I'm taking two squares. Oh, wow! It's like big chunks of coconut. It's creamy, it's sweet. I feel like I'm back in the tropics enjoying a coconut shake. That is by far the best one as far as I'm concerned. I'm going to choose my top two and if I had to rank them I'd say coconut is number one and maybe the cornflakes number two. I really enjoyed those. What about you? Well, for me I would go coconut also number one but then I would go peppermint number two. I think we've figured out some quite important here. If we were to buy the coconut flavor Ritter Sport we're going to be fighting over it. Quite literally. Hey, give it to me. http://nomadicsamuel.com/video-blog/ritter-sport-german-chocolate-taste-test This is part of our Travel in Germany series.
