The Reason The Real Wonka Chocolate Bars Were Discontinued

The milk chocolate flavor is sweet but not overwhelming, and every bite has plenty of crunchy hazelnut morsels. Even the texture is soft and aerated like the brand's classic truffle.

The milk chocolate flavor is sweet but not overwhelming, and every bite has plenty of crunchy hazelnut morsels. Even the texture is soft and aerated like the brand's classic truffle. However, its top selling point is also its main limitation. Although I enjoy hazelnut flavor in chocolate, it's one that can lose its charm after several bites, and that's what happened here.

From favors to candy dishes to ice cream toppings, Hershey assortments are the perfect pairing for any party or gathering. If Snickers is your favorite chocolate bar, you're not alone. It's nabbed the top spot in lists of America's best-selling candies for years. The bar that started it all, although the (slightly sour) taste is still somewhat ... Some attribute Hershey's bars' unique flavor (which has remained unchanged since 1900) to spoiled milk, though the company vehemently denies it.

And while I’ll forever think of belly button lint when I hear the brand’s name, this was far from something you’d find lodged in your navel. Each little egg is filled with high-quality chocolate ganache or crunchy praline infused with fruit, gianduja, and nougatine. Caramels come in all shapes and sizes, firmnesses, colors, degrees of bitterness and butteriness, and with all types of garnishes. Naming the best chocolate with caramel was no easy task, but I found that Fran's Chocolates caramels offer the "pull," deliberate chew, and strategic salting that a great caramel should possess. This box includes dark caramel patties, milk double caramel, dark almond nugget, and more.

I am, admittedly, a bit biased when it comes to Godiva chocolate after working for the company in high school. There is something about its distinct richness that I enjoy.

Luckily, the brand does offer a Chocolate Candy Bars-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.

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.

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.

However, these real Wonka Bars stopped being sold in January 2010 because they weren't selling very well. These include Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Candy Bars 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 Candy Bars 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.

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.
