Whilst looking for cheap snacks to have over a weekend I found some Riesen and managed to pick it up in it's two forms of packaging, a typical bag (150g) and a "bar style" wrapper that contains 5 individual pieces (45g). the packaging is a brown colour with golden yellow writing "Riesen" and a description "dark chocolate-chewy toffee". The are made by August Storck KG the giants behind an attempted take over of Cadbury's, and make Werther's Original and Campino as well as these. The bagged version of the sweets are each individually wrapped, whilst the "bar" style wrapper has them all on their own with no individual ...  Read the complete review

Made by the German company Storck if you like chocolate and you like chews these are for you. The advertising blurb states "Chewy chocolate caramel, covered in indulgently rich European chocolate. RIESEN lasts and lasts. So if you need a long, relaxing moment, unwrap a delicious, long lasting RIESEN" In 1903 the German company 'Werther's Sugar Confectionary Company' was founded by August Storck and they specialised in manufacturing handmade confectionary. Riesen chews themselves evolved from the "1 Pfennig RIESEN", a caramel chew that was individually wrapped and was available from the 1930s.

But up until recently It had been ages since I had eaten one so when I saw these in a local shop I decided to pick one up to see if I would like it as much now as I did then.

On my quest today to try another choccy bar I've never tried, I came across this at 46p in my local Nisa store and decided I had nothing to lose! I'd never even heard of it before and was right torn between picking this up and my usual favourite Twix but hey ho this won out of curiosity once again! The Packaging: Long brown paper wrapper and dotted on that are photographs of the chocolates. In white and yellow writing on the front I'm told it is Storck Riesen 'Dark Chocolate - Chewy Toffee'. On the back of the wrapper (now all in white writing) I'm told the size (in this case it's 45g), contact details for the company are given and I'm told it is ...  Read the complete review

I was walking around my local Home Bargains yesterday looking for some 'yummies' for our families Saturday night in watching X Factor (forget strictly). After filling my basket with all kinds of stuff I bumped into the chocolate isle. This to me, is like finding a £50 note on the floor, I just have to pick it up, or in the case of chocolate 'them up!'. Well on the agenda today included a riesen bar. It was only 22p so it was a quite cheap. But don't 'good things come it little parcels?'. Well my wife came in a little parcel and she is the 'bees knees' but these........ well let me explain. The Wrapper It is a dark brown with RIESEN in ...  Read the complete review
