Ritter Sport, the German chocolate brand known for its square bars, is launching its first U.S. holiday collection. Products will be available at retailers including Walmart, CVS, World Market, BJ’s Wholesale Club, Sam’s Club, Raley’s, and Hy-Vee.

The seasonal lineup includes packaging like the Choco Cubes stand-up bag, the Minis stand-up bag, the holiday gift tower, the gift box with bow, and the novelty ornament. Each item contains a mix of flavors including milk chocolate with chopped hazelnuts, chocolate mousse, and double caramel.

The company is also introducing its DUOs innovation in the U.S. market, available exclusively at World Market stores this fall. DUOs is a 7 oz chocolate tablet that combines two complementary flavors and textures in one bar. U.S. flavor pairings include Crunchy DUO (crispy cream and choco crunch), Sweet N’ Salty DUO (caramel crush and big brownie), and Coffee DUO (milky macchiato and crunchy coffee).

“Many customers tell us they struggle to choose from our wide variety of flavors, so we thought, why make them pick just one? DUOs bring two distinct sensory experiences together, offering a delicious mix of tastes and textures,” says Chris Avery, vice president of sales.

To support its U.S. expansion, Ritter Sport is launching a “Choctoberfest” campaign with sampling activations at Oktoberfest events in Cincinnati and Denver, as well as Chicago’s Christkindlmarket.

“As we grow our presence in the U.S., we’re making sure our German roots remain at the heart of everything we do,” says Ralf Hilpuesch, CEO of Ritter Sport USA. “By participating in these celebrations of German culture, we can share our craftsmanship and uncompromising standards with modern products that delight American chocolate lovers.”
