Asher's Chocolate Fine Chocolates & Classic Confections

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.

Inch markings printed on the wrapper showed just how long it actually was. The Caravelle was similar to the 100,000 Dollar bar, but better. Think caramel mixed with Rice Crispies, covered in milk chocolate. Unfortunately, the Caravelle Bar was discontinued after Peter Paul merged with Cadbury Schweppes in 1978.

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.
