Once a week, Team Meal Ticket shares its latest sugar-laden fixations. Do not tell 0ur dentist. IN QUESTION: A member of Ritter Sport's rainbow of fine German 100-gram chocolate bars, the white wrapper-clad Milk Chocolate & Yogurt variety begs the question, "Why spoon when you can snap?" Enveloped in silky 55 percent milk chocolate, pockets of tangy yogurt cream fill each of the bar's 16 bite-size squares. AVAILABLE AT: The wide array of Ritter Sport bars stocked at our old reliable Food & Friends (20th/Spruce) was a real boon for Weekly Candy. Just east of Broad Street, Citi Marketplace (13th/Walnut) also keeps several varieties of Ritter Sport on hand. HOW MANY DO WE TYPICALLY EAT IN ONE SITTING: It's a small bar that packs a rich punch. If you're in it for the long haul (say, a six- to eight-hour marathon of 24), you could easily consume the whole thing. Splitting one down the middle with a companion is a fair way to divvy up the goods and reach total chocolate-y satisfaction without overdoing it. No matter how much or how little you consume, keep a cup of water handy to keep any subsequent thiristies at bay. Thank me later. FINER POINTS: Ritter Sport bars draw their name from their perfect sport coat pocket size, making it the ideal contraband for dates, the theater or the daily grind (just be careful on hot days). For those mindful of digestive track activity, the skimmed milk yogurt filling contains live active cultures. Take that, Activia!
