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. + +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. + +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 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. + +Our recipes treasure the delicate balance of silky chocolate and milk, delivering comfort in every piece.

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. + +Most of the [Chocolate Candy Bars](https://www.wonkachocolatebars.com/) 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. + +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. + +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. + +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. \ No newline at end of file
