Description
A crispy center covered with chocolate. Made by Peter Paul, I think. Very good candy bar in the 60's and 70's.

This was one of my favorite candy bars...
I just LOVED this candy bar!
I STIll long for this candy bar! It was my favorite of all time! I remember fighting my brother and sister for theirs when we would get candy at Halloween! LOL They knew how much I loved Caravelles and I usually had to trade 2 for 1, but I didn't care!! The $100 Thousand Dollar Bar just doesn't compare!!
My uncle handled the Peter paul candy account when I was growing up. One day he sat all of us kids down and gave us candy wrapped in a white wrapper. He told us it was a new candy and asked us to eat it, then tell him what it should be called. After alot of suggestions my cousin Tim blurted out "Caravelle!" Unfortunately the candy bar wasn't very successful.
i remeber sitting there with my dad. there were alot of us tasting and testing the candy bar. i am that cuz eileen speaks of.
Boy, did I love this candy bar. What ever happened to it? Mounds stayed around, why not Caravelle? What's the matter? Did people somehow stop loving a crispy center with carmel dipped in milk chocolate??
There is a long list of fond memories when I think about my all-time favorite candy bar the Caravelle. What are the chances of re-introducing one of the best tasting candy bars in history?
Caravelle was and will forever be my favourite bar ever!!!
I just remembered the slogan "Indescribably Delicious" and it truly was!
Steve Almond writes in "Candyfreak: A Journey Through the Chocolate Underbelly of America",... "this entire book arose from the loss of a single candy bar. I am speaking of the Caravelle".
Caravelle - The only thing I ever shoplifted (and more than once)!
My piano teacher used to give me a Caravelle bar each week after my lesson. I looked forward to that so much, and was VERY disappointed if she gave me some other candy. The very best candy bar ever! What were those crunchy things in the bar that weren't crispy rice? Kind of like small nuts, but tasted so good!!!
we need to have this candy back
Back in 1969 when I was a freshman in high school, at lunch I would get a seven-up soda (in a glass bottle back then) and drop Sweet-Tarts into it to make it fizz, and drink it along with about three Caravelle bars. (Back then I could eat anything and stay skinny.) That was my all-time favorite candy bar! Nothing else is quite the same.
Caravelle, that's it! I am in my mid-forties and when I was a kid I loved this candy bar. I could never remember the name of it though. Was so excited to find it here - been more than 3 decades and I can still remember how it tasted!
this was a very popular but had ground brazil nuts and it went bad quickly. it sold fast enough that wasn't much of a problem but when the price of the nuts jumped it spelled doom for this great candy.
When I was in college the Caravelle bar was sold in the vending machine in the basement of the dorm. It is beyond the best tasting candy bar in the world. Every now and then I think about it (even I can't believe I just said that). Whenever I mention it to anyone, they have no memory of it. The $100,000 bar is close but in no way matches the Caravelle bar.
I am so glad I saw this site. I was beginning to think I had dreamed up the taste of this candy bar. No one else ever remembers it when I bring it up. As you can see, I'm almost obsessed.
Mmmmm my all time favorite. I would ride my bike to the gas station vending machine to buy them. There is nothing close to this candy bar in taste!
I remember the day it was announced on the news that Peter Paul was going to stop making my favorite candy bar, Caravelle. How I wish Cadbury would see fit to bring this 'indescribably delicious' candy bar back!
