Ritter Sport is a renowned German brand of chocolate bars recognized for its iconic square shape. Founded in 1912 by Alfred Ritter and Clara Ritter in Bad Cannstatt, Stuttgart, the brand introduced the 'Ritter’s Sport Chocolate' square design in 1932 to fit into sport jacket pockets without breaking.

Today, the brand remains a family-owned business managed by Alfred T. Ritter GmbH & Co. KG. Most of the production takes place at their headquarters in Waldenbuch, Germany. The company is notable for its commitment to sustainability, operating its own cocoa plantation, El Cacao, in Nicaragua to ensure ethical sourcing. The brand's focus on quality and innovation has allowed it to maintain independence from larger global food conglomerates.
