The Ritter Sport Mini Tower Nut Selection is a new addition to the Germany-based chocolate brand's seasonal offerings that will provide consumers with a way to elevate their traditions with a touch of sweetness. The product comes with seven pieces in all that include milk, dark and white chocolate varieties that are all packed with premium hazelnuts. The gift pack can thus be given on its own or opened to split it up as a stocking stuffer for spreading the joy.
Head of Marketing at Ritter Sport UK & IRE Katy Clark commented on the inspiration for the new Ritter Sport Mini Tower Nut Selection saying, "The format is ideal for the Christmas gifting period as either a stocking filler or token gift for family and friends, or even a thank you for teachers at the end of a busy year. The mini tower format had a great first year in market last Christmas with a ‘top six’ retailer selling the Mini Tower Chocolate Mix, selling through the entire original predicted volumes by the first week in November! The retailer went on to place an additional order and we were pleased to see that the gifting format was resonating with consumers and fulfilling a shopper need."
