Ritter Sport is known for the many chocolate flavors it offers and its newest one is titled 'Unicorn.'
The chocolate was created as part of a pattern that can be seen where food is becoming increasingly attractive, social media-friendly and more of an experience than simply something to be consumed. The Ritter Sport Unicorn chocolate comes in a red color and features a rainbow, and an image of a unicorn. The product itself is made with white chocolate, yogurt and a raspberry cassis. The resulting chocolate is as whimsical in its appearance as the concept behind its flavors are. The product is being offered as part of a limited release, with only 50 chocolate bars being made available in the UK.
Ritter Sport's new venture into providing a specialty product that is more playful and exclusive ensures that the brand is able to establish itself as a competitor in the emerging market that emphasizes food's appearance.
