As far as caramel goes, if Caramilk (or Caramello in the States) is the softest that you’ll find, Riesen is the chewiest. It really is about as chewy as caramel gets; biting into one of the dense pieces of caramel unprepared can easily result in some sore teeth.
Riesen consists of five individual pieces of “chocolate caramel,” each with a liberal coating of dark chocolate. The chocolate gives each piece an initial creaminess and flavour, though the caramel is so thick that the chocolate is gone long before you’re done chewing the caramel. As for the super-chewy, sticks-to-your-teeth caramel – it’s not very sweet at all, and has a really rich, almost molassesy flavour. It’s definitely pretty different from the typical caramel, and will give your mouth a workout – after eating only a couple of these, my jaw was already getting pretty sore.
The nice thing about Riesen is that it offers something a bit different from the usual candy bar; it’s subtly sweet (which is certainly not something you can say for almost any American candy bar) and for the frugally-minded, its chewiness ensures that it’ll last a lot longer than the norm.
