This year I have been able to organise my materials and spend time on the design, and to enjoy the process lot more. Ten Golden Tickets were hidden in the bars and bags of Wonka Exceptionals. Later, more Exceptionals flavors were added, like Wonka Triple Dazzle Caramel and Wonka Fantabulous Fudge. A Nestlé factory in Europe started making Wonka Bars with the flavors and wrappers from the 2005 movie. These included Whipple-Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delight, Nutty Crunch Surprise (which didn't actually have nuts), and Triple Dazzle Caramel. The company that made them was called the Willy Wonka Candy Company, which was part of Nestlé.

It took several years for the company to nail down a recipe for the Wonka Bar and they finally released one in 1975, per The Huffington Post. The company struggled to solidify their chocolate recipe (literally, as the bars kept melting), and didn't actually release the flagship Wonka Bar until 1975. For years, Wonka Bars were reintroduced and pulled from markets intermittently. In 1988, the Willy Wonka candy brand was sold to Nestlé, the company credited with inventing chocolate chips ( who still sells some of the best grocery store chocolate chips). They went on to have greater success under the Willy Wonka name, but even they could not withstand the strain of declining sales.

Well, I've tried to narrow down your options by tasting 16 different popular candy bars, all to determine which are worth buying and which aren't. Of course, we all have different preferences when it comes to these treats, so we may not agree on every single product. But hopefully, through my taste-testing experience, you can choose a better one the next time you need a quick pick-me-up. I've ranked these bars from worst to best, keeping both flavor and texture in mind while assessing the quality of the ingredients. It's fitting that each square on this bar is adorned with little hearts as it was made for the milk chocolate lovers. I found it to be a top tier chocolate bar, with credit to its smooth, creamy texture and flavor that wasn't too sweet.

The Golden Ticket that grants five "lucky" children the chance to visit Willy Wonka's chocolate factory is hidden inside the famous chocolate bars, with the candy serving as a catalyst for the whole story. Still, there were a few promising signs that the beloved candy bar could return. For one, Ferrero released a line of Chocolate Candy Bars bars based on their beloved candies in 2022. And second, the release of the musical "Wonka" — starring Timothée Chalamet — could kick start another Wonka Bar campaign, as has been the case with previous movie adaptations. In 1971, a film production company teamed up with Quaker Oats to make a movie version of Roald Dahl's beloved children's book. Part of the problem with Quaker's Wonka Bar strategy was that the 1971 film simply wasn't very popular in its initial release.

Almost a decade after the last "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" movie hit theaters, Nestlé brought the Wonka Bar back in 2013 with two flavors. Originally, demand for the chocolate bars was high, with the brand raking in over £3 million a month in the U.K., but those sales quickly declined to just a third of that. It was not long before stores were selling the Wonka Bars at a discounted price, and Nestlé eventually discontinued the candy bars altogether. "Novelty is by its nature often short-term and Nestlé has reintroduced the Wonka brand a number of times," the company said in a statement, per The Grocer.

What’s more, we can now get cool Wonka Candy to eat the treats mentioned in the book. The first step to making the bars was to find an inexpensive and widely available chocolate bar that was long and narrow, just as Wonka’s is in the movie. This also lent itself to fitting the long name of the chocolate bar on the wrappers I was making.

Like Toblerone, the crunchy bits can still get stuck in your teeth, but this was better distributed than the Swiss giant's sugar bomb. Sure, you're getting a lot of chocolate in one bar, but that just made it more affordable in my book. Though I'd avoided Tony's in the past, I'll be giving more of the brand's bars a try.

The real Wonka Bar was a chocolate bar made to look like the ones from the book and movies. It was inspired by Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. On 9 August 2013, Nestle UK announced that the Wonka Bar was to return to the UK, after having not been sold since 2005. The new Wonka Bars are available in small individual bars and 100g big block bars.
