This time of year can be a bit hard in the search for interesting Foodstuff Finds. I call it the Christmas lull, not that many new products are launching because they are waiting till after January, the month where many people go on a health kick.
This Large Ritter Sport - Cornflake Edition bar caught my eye in Lidl, Im not sure if it is new but it is new to me. I love the idea of cornflakes with chocolate it is a flavour that tales me back to being a child and making cornflake cakes. I picked up the large bar and popped it in my basket. This is the first time I’ve seen Giant Ritter Sports bars!
I decided to try this chocolate over the weekend with it being a bit of comfort against the cold and heavy winds that were making the house rattle. The first thing I tried to do was to break a street strip off the bar which turned out to be near impossible. It is one solid bar. Next attempt was to simply break the bar in half and then to break it to pieces after that. I managed this but again a surprising amount of strength was needed, so much so I was leaning on a table and pressing down and when it finally broke I slipped and bent my nail back. D’oh. I did eventually get it into manageable sizes pieces after flexing my muscles.
Like my attempts at breaking the bar implied, these pieces are also quite tough. The cornflakes are a bit sparse too and sadly there isn’t much flavour from them. They bar is a thick solid chocolate and that makes the other taste. There is a light crispy texture which I should have liked but my motivation for the bar was wearing thin. I finished my three cubes and was left a bit disappointed. The chocolate was okay.
It definitely need far more cornflakes and despite the novelty to be a smaller bar too. Not often I get bored of a chocolate product but I guess it helped saved some January calories.
