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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Akesson's Organic Chocolate bars have won a multitude of awards and is regarded as one of the best craft Chocolate Candy Bars 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Our flavored chocolate bars are crafted using real ingredients, not artificial flavoring. They contain no artificial colors or flavors, and are made with real cocoa butter and natural ingredients. Each bar undergoes a complete chocolate-making process, including 72-hour conching, to achieve exceptional texture and flavor.
