Willy Wonka UK’s Halloween Screams from 1999!

CC_Wonka Screams TITLE PLATE-B

Across the pond and just before the turn of the Millennium, Nestle UK created a brief but fun seasonal release with their Wonka Screams.  Make the jump to check out these chocolate-covered raspberry Halloween treats!

Released for the Halloween season back in 1999, Wonka Screams were small milk chocolates with raspberry centers.  I have examples of two different wrappers, though there might have been a larger variety of them and perhaps even other fruit flavor centers.   I can’t be sure as these are the only two wrappers I’ve ever come across for Wonka Screams.   Here they are:

UK - Nestle-Wonka - Screams Raspberry neck-bolts - Halloween candy wrapper - 1999

UK – Nestle-Wonka – Screams Raspberry neck-bolts – Halloween candy wrapper – 1999

UK - Nestle-Wonka - Screams Raspberry skeleton - Halloween candy wrapper - 1999

UK – Nestle-Wonka – Screams Raspberry skeleton – Halloween candy wrapper – 1999

How’s that for a pair of obscure-yet-fun bits of recently-vintage confectionery Halloween goodness?

And that’s everything I’ve got to share on Wonka’s Halloween Screams.  See you next time!
