Indulgence and lifestyle collide with the Ritter Sport Tasty Vibes range that prioritizes inventive flavor pairings and artwork to catch the attention of keen chocolate lovers this summer.
The product range puts the Funky White Lemon and Groovy Crunchy Pretzel varieties in the spotlight alongside the Pistachio option, Strawberry Creme, Alpine Milk and Coconut. The Funky White Lemon features white chocolate with a citrusy lemon filling, while the Groovy Crunchy Pretzel plays on sweet and salty tasting notes with pretzels in milk chocolate.
The Ritter Sport Tasty Vibes range has been launched at a variety of US retailers including Walgreens, CVS, Albertson's, Shaw's Jewel Osco, Hy-Vee and Bi Marks to maximize accessibility. Each bar comes in at $4.59 to target the midrange consumer who's on the hunt for something beyond entry-level chocolate bars without breaking the bank.
