About Ritter sport chocolate

It offers a variety of flavors, ranging from classic milk chocolate to nut, fruit, and specialty fillings. Each 100-gram bar provides approximately 550 calories, with a macronutrient profile of around 30g fat, 50g carbohydrates, and 7g protein. Ritter Sport uses high-quality cocoa, milk, and natural ingredients, appealing to a global audience.
