Ritter Sport Knusperflakes is a popular milk chocolate bar containing cornflakes, recognized by its distinct square shape and yellow packaging. The brand was founded in 1912 by Alfred and Clara Ritter in Stuttgart, Germany. In 1932, Clara Ritter conceived the famous 'Sport' chocolate bar design – a square shape that would fit into a sports jacket pocket without breaking.

The product is primarily manufactured in Waldenbuch, Germany, where the company maintains its headquarters and main production facility. Ritter Sport remains a family-owned business, now in its third and fourth generations of the Ritter family. The company is known for its commitment to sustainability, sourcing 100% certified sustainable cocoa and operating its own cocoa plantation in Nicaragua.
