Cocoa mass, cocoa butter, almond flour and sugar are the simple ingredients that make up the new vegan Ritter Sport bars, Vegan Pure Without Moo. These new vegan chocolate bars respond to the growing number of consumers in Germany who are making the shift to plant-based eating.
Sesame, quinoa and amaranth are a few of the ingredients that are spotlighted in these dairy-free chocolate bars. Ritter Sport says that this new line "addresses all chocolate fans who are looking for products with exclusively plant-based ingredients and for whom sustainability is an important aspect in their choice of food."
