Time for some fun and to learn something new about the story of chocolate! To be exact, the story of Ritter chocolate in Berlin.
During my trip, I also met up with my friend Manu.
We were thinking about what to do together. There were just 2 spaces left on the chocolate-making experience at the Ritter Sport factory – so we signed up for that!
You choose from 4 types of chocolate for your bar, then up to 3 ingredients to add to the mixture. Anyone who knows me won’t be surprised that I chose the crushed coffee beans ☕😋
Some of the other possible combinations were very strange….But it’s your bar, so any combination of the 20 or so options is allowed!
While our chocolate set in the fridge, we also had a talk about the chocolate-making process and the story of Ritter Sport.
It was a fun thing to do and we each came away with 2 bars of coffee chocolate to enjoy!!
How to make this post language-related… It was cool for me to do this in German and it did make me think a bit more about the way in which I learn. As I can’t see what’s going on, I sometimes need more explanations. Both as a child and later as a language learner, words have always been really important to me. Being able to understand and communicate with words gives me both confidence and a sense of security that I know what’s going on. I don’t do well in situations where people communicate using gestures, pointing at things, or using other non-verbal ways to communicate. I can’t. So for me, this is a massive incentive to build my vocabulary in all of my languages!
Has anyone else been to this chocolate-making experience? Which is your favourite Ritter Sport bar?
