About Riesen
Riesen holds the distinction of being Germany's very first branded candy, pioneering the concept of individually wrapped confectionery when small corner shops still sold sweets loose from jars. Today, this iconic chocolate caramel from August Storck KG continues to delight consumers worldwide with its distinctive chewy texture and intensely chocolatey taste. The name Riesen means "Giants" in German, originally referring to the generous size of these caramel treats. What began as the "1 Pfennig Riesen" evolved into the premium Chocolate Riesen we know today - bite-sized pieces of chewy chocolate caramel encased in smooth dark chocolate. The inimitable flavour comes from a special blend of selected Gavoa cocoa beans. Storck, the German confectioner also renowned for Werther's Original, successfully expanded Riesen internationally throughout Europe and introduced the brand to the United States in 1991. The candy is now well established across Germany, Scandinavia, the UK, Ireland, the US, and Canada. In the UK market, Riesen is available in packs of five and larger sharing bags of individually wrapped pieces. Available at UK supermarkets and confectionery retailers, Riesen offers a satisfying combination of chewy caramel and dark chocolate that has earned loyal fans for generations.
