I thought there was already a Wonka bar brand out?
To be honest they can never taste the same as my imagination always thought they would taste like. |

These will be made officially by Nestle there has been unofficial replicas that scam you into buying Happy Shopper chocolate for £3 that is a scam. This is the real Nestle deal. The Dahl estate approve of Nestle. |

Years ago they did these amazing chocolates! They were either pink chocolate with green goo in the middle or green chocolate with pink goo I can't remember lol. About 2 inches square. I use to get them from the local shop. Can anyone else remember them?

I remember the Wonka bars that came out back in 2005 to coincide with the remake of the movie, they were delicious! Can't they just bring those ones back?

EDIT: There were in fact four flavours - Nutty Crunch Surprise, Triple Dazzle Caramel, Whipple-Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delight and Chilly Chocolate Creme. http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__...10499767_1.jpg And the chocolate factory was in the USA, not Belgium.

I agree entirely with you. Those bars were gorgeous! There were two flavours - Scrumpdiddlyumptious and Triple Fudgemallow Delight, if I recall correctly. They had a golden ticket promotion going, and the prize was a trip to a real chocolate factory (somewhere in Belgium, I think).

The Nutty Crunch Suprise the nutty suprise was that it had no nuts. I remember seeing someone not eat it because they thought it had nuts inside it when in fact it did not. |

I just saw some Wonka Bars in Mr Simms Olde Sweet Shoppe the other day! They looked exactly like the Wonka Bars in the original film, Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory.

Although I know of the ones you are on about these are illegal bars that are not under licence and do not meet regulations meaning they could be dangerous. The trading standards officers are seizing them around the UK. In the USA the Wonka bar was discontinued although they continue to sell gobstoppers etc. |

I seem to remember certain Wonka bars which when I bit into them, they would crack and fizzly feeling in my mouth, and the stuff that made that happen was something green inside the chocolate.

I have noticed that they are actually going back a step rather than using the 2005 logo from the latest movie they will be using the 1990's logo from the old range.
Nestle own the rights to the Wonka brand any replica's are illegal and dangerous. |

To be honest I preferred the 2005 branding but you can decide.
2005 - http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__...10499767_1.jpg 2013 - http://blogs.coventrytelegraph.net/p...634-203634.jpg It's a shame that they are not aiming it at children and are keeping it as an adult brand. Probably why the lack of imagination. Small Bar RRP - 60p Big Bar RRP - £1.20 |

There are plenty of the 'sweet shops' online and in real shops that have made their own versions of Wonka bars. Might be fine,in terms of quality, might be overpriced but whatever it is it is not an official product and a breach of copyright. I guess they just haven't bothered taking them to court.

I was watching a Youtube video and someone had one of the 2005 stock unopened and everything would be awesome to own one of them. Shame I ate the ones I bought. |
