Waldenbuch

On October 1, we visited Waldenbuch, the home of Rittersport chocolate.


It was really fun. I found out that Rittersports were cheaper at the source (they were about a dollar). My favorite Rittersport was the Buttermilch-Zitrone. Es war sehr gut. One of my favorites was also the Edelbitter. Mom likes the Pfefferminz.

All of my candy bars were melted somewhat because I put them under my seat which was right by the heater.

It was fun. I liked the Pfefferminz. I liked the Straciatella Crisp. I liked the museum because I got to learn about chocolate.

That is the Rittersport shop and museum in the picture above. There were cheaper candy bars there.We did not actually take a picture of the factory part which is across the street. They have a wide selection of chocolate. The best one was Zitrone-Buttermilch. It is a summer special. Halbbitter is a replacement for semi-sweet. One of the stranger things is that they have tortilla chips or corn flakes in candy-bars.


Why, just why? It doesn't make any sense.

I think that they taste good. The Knusper Tortilla Chips tasted so good. After a while they blend together. It is a bit of an acquired taste.

I love tortilla chips!
--Spencer

Plain cocoa beans taste surprisingly good (they had some to sample at the museum). The candy-bar I most want to try is the Pfefferminz-Marzipan that they had back in the 1970s or 1980s. It is my two favorites together.

The reason we don't have any more photos is that the camera ran out of batteries.

 Kathleen notes that the name for the store was clever: the Schoko-Laden. Translates into the Choco-store but sounds like the word for chocolate in German.
