What else should you know about Ritter Sport Chocolates? These are a couple fun facts about these delicious treats.

The company was founded in 1912 in Germany by Alfred Eugen Ritter and Clara Ritter.

Clara came up with the company’s signature square shape. Why square? It was supposed to “fit in everyone’s jacket pocket without breaking and weighs the same as a normal long bar.”

Ritter Sport also had long bars, boxes of chocolate, and other seasonal products. These were gradually phased out in 1960 to focus on the square bars.

Ritter Sport is a very environmentally friendly company! In the early 1990’s they switched to fully recyclable packaging and developed a agroforestry project where they get their cocoa from in Nicaragua. There is also an organic range of chocolates that are available.
