Description
These were round candies made by Willy Wonka that were half chocolate and half peanut butter in a hard candy shell. Way better than M&M's.

These were SO GOOD and they were larger than an M&M. I would eat a package of these right now if they were available.
There is a similar M&M product out now--not quite as good, but almost.
these were awesome! someone should bring these back, I'm sure they would be a hit.
I wish they still made these! They were the best. Nothing out there right now compares.
I loved these candies as a kid. I have been searching the wonderful WWW for them can't find any. I wish they would bring them back. I would sure buy them. They were better than M&M's. They were so big. One bite choc. and one bite P.B. Man I want some!! Just thinking about them makes my mouth water!!!!
My dad used to buy these for me and we'd share them. They were so awesome! I am glad they actually existed and weren't just some random wishful happy memory from my childhood!
The best candy ever - I wish I had a bag of them right now. I would eat every last one of them and savor the flavor of each one I popped into my mouth. I can't image why they stopped making them. Please bring them back!!!!!
The best candy ever made. My best childhood memories involve them. They should bring OOMPAS back, they would sell millions.
Bring Back Oompas!! They were the best! My children don't believe that such a candy ever existed! (Marathon bars were good, too!)
They did now they are made by reeses I seen them for Easter.
One of my favorites as a kid, told my own children about them, way better than m and m's, and so much better than the wonka candy of today
My mom just informed me a few days ago that she used to eat these all of the time when she was pregnant with me.
I would totally eat a hundred of these right NOW.
Yes - I think of these often, they were so delicious. I would buy lots and lots of them if they made them again.
Oh, how I long for the days I could grab a bag whenever I wanted. I miss these SO much. They were my favorite candy of all time. What happened to all the good stuff? :(
***I am LOOKING TO BUY vintage 1970s OOMPAS candy wrappers for my 1970s candy wrapper collection. There were 3 different styles of wrapper, I want them all. If you have any, PLEASE contact me, as I will pay you GOOD MONEY for these!
