The Willy Wonka Candy Company is a brand of candy owned by the Nestle company using licensed materials from Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and its two film adaptations for their packaging and marketing. The brand started in 1971, coinciding with the release of the first film adaptation. They were bought by Nestle in 1988. The brand is used on a range of candies and chocolate bars. A number of the Wonka-branded products actually did originate in the book and later films, such as the Everlasting Gobstoppers and the Wonka Bar, while others were originally created or acquired for the brand. Wonka is dedicated to the art of producing fun, innovative, scrumptious confections for candy lovers of all ages.
