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.
You’d be hard-pressed to find that information on a conventional chocolate bar. Who among us hasn’t broken into the emergency stash of baking chips once a chocolate craving hits? For that reason, I ate 26 chocolate bars on the hunt for the very best. (You’re welcome.) What makes for the best high-quality chocolate bar, however, depends on your preferences. There are milk chocolate lovers, extra dark chocolate purists, and fans of flavored chocolate.
Its truffle counterpart is softer, with silky dulce de leche taking center stage. For a more modest treat, La Maison du Chocolat offers a Snacks & Treats collection, with hearty candy bars, rustic barks, chocolate-covered nuts, and candied orange peels. If you’re looking to really make a grand gesture, the brand’s Parisian Hatboxes — curated gift baskets filled with carefully selected boxes — will make a memorable statement. Its dairy-free options extend beyond the designated vegan bonbon collection. The Carré Origin box features individually wrapped, delicately thin tiles of divine chocolate sourced from around the world.

I am, admittedly, a bit biased when it comes to Godiva Chocolate Candy Bars after working for the company in high school. There is something about its distinct richness that I enjoy.
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.
Nestlé Japan also released a toy truck containing these bars. However, they have since been discontinued after the sale to Ferrero. The wrappers of the 1971 version are brown with an orange and pink border with a top hat over the “W” in Wonka, similar to the film’s logo, and the chocolate bars resemble Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate bars.
However, these real Wonka Bars stopped being sold in January 2010 because they weren’t selling very well. These include Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (from 1971) and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (from 2005). There’s even a play called Charlie and the Chocolate Factory the Musical (from 2013) where they appear. Each movie and play shows the Wonka Bar with different wrappers.
Most of the chocolate bars I reviewed have less than 10 grams of sugar per serving, with a standout exception being the Ritter Sport Alpine Milk Chocolate, with 17 grams. Although it’s not a requirement that chocolatiers name their cacao’s country of origin and sourcing details, many choose to. The Raaka Pink Sea Salt, for example, is entirely sourced from a cacao farm in a bird sanctuary in the Dominican Republic.
Luckily, the brand does offer a chocolate-covered option, so if you’re a big fan of those salty peanuts, it may be worth checking out. As the only candy bar on this list that doesn’t contain any chocolate, it shouldn’t be too surprising that Payday is near the bottom of the ranking. A candy bar sans chocolate is just sad, to be frank, and it’s not like you’re getting amazing quality ingredients with the stuff that is included. The caramel-y center is tough and sticky, making it slightly hard to chew and leaving an unpleasant residue on your molars.
Wonka chocolate will be available in three flavours – Millionaire’s Shortbread, Crème brûlée and Chocolate Nice Cream. “Willy Wonka as a brand is synonymous with deliciously imaginative confectionery all over the world.” The company said Wonka chocolate will be one of its biggest launches since Randoms in 2009 and KitKat Chunky 10 years earlier. If I had access to a colour printer the design and making process would likely be very simple. However, I do not, so all of the elements of decoration on the wrapper had to be individually cut and then carefully applied. Though this made for a much longer making process, the results feel really substantial and tactile.
