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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Candy Bars](https://www.wonkachocolatebars.com/), 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.

Akesson's Organic Chocolate bars have won a multitude of awards and is regarded as one of the best craft chocolate bars on the market. Raaka is devoted to making uncommonly delicious chocolate that captures the brighter, bolder, and fruitier side of cacao. They make every bar from scratch with unroasted cacao beans, sourced from growers they trust and admire. The unique flavour of their unroasted chocolate is part place, part process. They craft their bars in celebration of each cacao origin's unique character.

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.

Our recipes treasure the delicate balance of silky chocolate and milk, delivering comfort in every piece. Unveil the deep, rich secrets of our premium dark chocolates. Each bite promises a pure, bold journey, whisking you away to a world of robust flavors. Indulge in the art of cacao's darkest, most elegant form. I am, admittedly, a bit biased when it comes to Godiva [Chocolate Candy Bars](https://www.wonkachocolatebars.com/) after working for the company in high school. There is something about its distinct richness that I enjoy.

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 best dark chocolate bar is the Beyond Good 70% Pure Dark. It’s complex but approachable and melts in your mouth beautifully. Milk chocolate lovers will swoon for the sweet and creamy Ritter Sport Alpine Milk Chocolate. These luscious chocolate bars are made with 100% cocoa butter and high quality non-GMO Fair Trade Certified coverture chocolate. Giant chocolatier Godiva leans into its nearly century-old Belgian roots to support an image of fancy chocolate.
