Ritter Sport has a devoted following, and if you’re already a fan, Target’s selection is worth sorting through — these three are the ones that actually hold up.
1. Ritter Sport Mixed Caramel Minis Stand-Up Bag – $6.89
Movie night is where this bag earns its place — three distinct caramel varieties in one stand-up bag: Caramel Pretzel, Caramel Popcorn, and Double Caramel Crunch, all in individually wrapped minis. It’s the rare candy bag where every piece is actually different, which makes it genuinely fun to pass around or pace yourself through over a few evenings. A smart fall impulse grab at $6.89.
Taste: Each mini lands somewhere in the sweet-salty zone — the pretzel and popcorn varieties bring a bit of crunch and a savory edge, while the Double Caramel Crunch goes full rich and dense. The milk chocolate shell is smooth and generous, not thin, so nothing feels like a compromise.
Make It Better: Toss a handful into a bowl with salted nuts for a party snack mix, or keep the bag in a desk drawer for that inevitable 3pm craving — having three flavors in one bag means you’re less likely to finish it in a single sitting.
Parting Thoughts: Three flavors, one bag, under $7 — caramel fans especially should grab this before it disappears from the fall shelf.
2. Ritter Sport Caramel Choco Cubes Stand-Up Bag – $6.89
That first pop when you bite into one of these is genuinely satisfying — the milk chocolate exterior gives way to a creamy double-caramel center that’s rich without being cloying, all in a single bite-sized cube. These were introduced as part of Ritter’s fall launch and feel like the kind of thing you pick up once and then can’t stop buying. Great for an after-dinner treat you can actually portion, or to set out at a gathering.
Taste: Double caramel means a smooth, almost gooey center that leans toward butterscotch warmth rather than sharp sweetness. The milk chocolate keeps everything balanced — creamy and rich all the way through, with the caramel filling taking over once you bite in.
Make It Better: Set a small bowl of these out at a party alongside something salty — pretzels or plain popcorn — and the caramel plays off both really well. The cube shape makes them easy to eat without making a mess.
Parting Thoughts: If caramel is your thing, this cube format is a genuinely fun new way to eat it — though if you find caramel cloying, the mixed minis bag with the pretzel variety is probably the safer bet.
3. Ritter Sport Milk Chocolate With Strawberry Creme Bar- Case of 12/3.5 oz – $66.99
Devoted Ritter fans who already know they love this brand will want to note the case of 12 at $66.99 — that’s twelve 3.5-ounce bars in arm’s reach whenever the craving hits, and a generous option for gifting a few bars at a time. The Strawberry Creme is one of Ritter’s established flavors, now showing up at Target as the brand expands its U.S. presence. It’s a legitimately different direction from the fall caramel lineup — bright and fruity where those are warm and rich.
Taste: The filling is smooth and creamy strawberry with a subtle tang — more shortcake than candy-sweet, which makes it feel lighter and brighter than a standard chocolate bar. Rice crisp bits are woven in, adding a faint crunch that keeps the texture interesting without overwhelming the creamy filling.
Make It Better: These are shelf-stable and travel well, so they’re a practical option for care packages, holiday gift baskets, or stashing at the office. Break a bar into the classic Ritter squares alongside coffee — the strawberry and milk chocolate combination holds up well.
Parting Thoughts: Worth it if you’re already a Ritter convert and want a supply on hand; if you’re still deciding whether you like the brand, a single bar is the smarter first move.
