When I was in 4th grade during the seventies I would walk past a drugstore on my way to and from school. On the way home my best friend Marilyn and I would stop almost every day to buy a Willie Wonka Super Scrunch bar. We'd hang out in front of the drugstore savoring each bite of our chocolate delight then we would take a short cut through the woods, go down to the creek and catch frogs, turtles and crawdads! We were quite the tomboys back then! Today as a full grown woman I still crave those Super Scrunch bars. It was my most favorite candy bar in the world and just the thought of that light, crispy, peanut buttery chocolate bar takes me back to that creek with my freckled faced friend laughing, wading barefoot and just being a carefree kid. Man I'd love to have another one of those candy bars right now!

I worked at the factory in St. Louis where we produced the Willi Wonka candies for Quaker Oats. The factory, Concorde Confections, was latered purchased by Nestle and ultimately shut down sometime in the 90's. It was a great place to work, most all of us were in our early twenties. We were working to produce another bar when I left, it was going to be called the Scrumdelisious. Nestle sells a very similiar bar called "Whatchmacallit" I believe. However ours was a little differant with ours using chocolate rice crispys. Somedays we produced as much as 40,000 scruch bars a day.

Around 1972 I was 12 years old. These bars were no doubt my favorite candy of all times! We had a small strip mall about two blocks from my house that had a drugstore, grocery store, five and dime and a pizza place. Those days have far gone and the drugstore where I would buy these candy bars has also moved out but I still have the same desire to get some of these candy bars! Is there anything even close to these out there? I would love to find even a close substitute! Thanks! dave

It was probably around 1972 and I would have been 11 then. That summer, me and my younger brother would walk downtown almost every day on the way back from the beach or the harbor. We'd always stop at the paper store and I'd get as many super scrunches as I had money for from my paper route(usually 3 or 4) and a bottle of red cream soda. Then we'd walk home back up the hillside and as we'd go, I'd eat each scrunch bar and he'd ask for a "tidbit" so I'd break the end off of each bar and give it to him. We always opened the wrappers carefully and smoothed them out with our thumbnails. We shared a room and I wallpapered the entire inside of our closet door with row upon row of super scrunch wrappers all neatly taped up with scotch tape.

Wow...I'm glad I'm not the only one. Just got an email offering Modern Day Willie Wonka candies and I replied that "I'm looking for a Super Skrunch Bar, haven't had one since about '72". That seems to be THE YEAR reading the above. If I remember 36 years later it supports my vaguely remembering sense of the Super Skrunch was the BEST CANDY BAR OF ALL TIME. Help me remember though what exactly was in it!? (I never saw the movie)

I too worked at the factory in St. Louis from 1971 to 1973. During that time I remember the Skrunch bar being made from a peanut butter and Rice Krispie mix covered in chocolate. We also produced the Skrumdidleyumptious bar that was milk chocolate and chocolate Rice Krispies topped with caramel and covered in milk chocolate. Then there were Ompas which were like M&M's only bigger, half peanut butter and half chocolate with a hard candy shell. Nothing like the ompas sold today. I remember these ingredients well because I was the one who had to keep those hoppers full!! They used to call me Wally Wonka..... Those were fun days.

Wally I read your post this morning and I was trying to place you, we were both there during the same period, but it has been many years! I was the second shift operator in charge of forming the Rice Krispy/Peanut Butter slab, just before it went into the cooling tunnel ahead of the enrobing room. I used to bring home a plastic bags full of free Ompas to my little sister (they wouldn’t allow us to bring out wrapped candy) and you would have thought it was Christmas morning for her. What a great place to work, and we produced great candies. And what fun it was working with all those pretty “Kelly Girls.” Unfortunately I did hear that Hershey shut the facility down. I do think if they were still running I would try to go back to work for them.

I blame the loss of these great candy bars to corporate greed and monopolization. All we see now are Snickers bars and M&M's. I suspect the original great 70's Wonka line was eliminated at the stroke of the pen to save a few bucks.

Gary, My first job was 3rd shift sanitation, Later I worked upstairs on a mezzanine keeping hoppers full of rice crispies, powderd sugar, peanuts and such. Those were great candy bars. I guess sales weren't enough to keep making them.

I am from Affton Mo where they made the Super Scrunch. My parents owned a grocery store there (Moheskys) and we were one of the test market stores for their new candies. When the WW Super Scrunch came out I tried one and thought it was the best candy bar I had ever had. I featured the Super Scrunch in the candy section at the store and we had trouble keeping them in stock even though they were made only about 3 miles away.

Trying to place you, did you marry one of the Kelly girls that worked there? I was there 9/71 - 9/72, I made slab before it was cut and enrobed with chocolate.

Wow! I have missed that candy bar for decades, and now I see I'm not alone! By far the best candy bar I've ever had. And I loved the Oompas too... There was a small store/burger shop across the street from our school. It was a daily stop for one of those two treats... usually the Scrunch bar... Thanks for sharing all these great memories!

I started working at a drugstore around 1978 and I remember every break I took I had a Coke and a Skrunch bar. Greatest candy bar ever. Sure wish they would bring it back. I am now a candy buyer for a hobby / craft company in OKC and I just sent an email to my Nestle salesman requesting they bring the Skrunch Bar back. Hope springs eternal.

Summer of '79 till summer '80 every time I went to the local 7-11 here in Los Angeles bought a Skrunch Bar every time.I had so many in that timeframe I finally got tired of them but I'd have to say still my all-time favorite candy bar. Of course after they were discontinued then I wanted one! Bring em back....

I remember in the 70s going to of all places Kelly’s drug store to get at least one scrunch bar and a bag of Oompahs. I loved those candies! The drug store was across the street from my school and it would make a great lunch some days, and other days a super treat after school. Glad to hear they were part of other lives also. I tried finding these candies from stores that claim to have all the old candies but of course no luck. I wonder if the recipe is for sale. Were there a lot of Kelly girls there or were they twins?

Kelly Girls was a temporary employment agency, like ManPower, we were making so many Super Skrunch Bars and Oompahs that Concorde Confections hired temps to package the candy. I guess they were unsure how long the demand would last. Keep writing to bring back the candy…the facility is still there…setting idle just waiting.

Definetly very fond memories of the Scrunch bar. And I also miss them. I think the major chocolate companies conspired to buy the recipe and take it off the market. Just a thought. Can't beleive its sales caused it to be taken off the market. No other bar compares, it actually goes best with Dr. Pepper(impereal sugar).

To make the Super Scrunch Bar we made our own peanut butter, and we made a lot of it. Still not fond of it.

What has happened to candy over the years? Wonka's Scrunch Bar and Peanut Butter & Chocolate Ompahs were two of the best candies ever made. There are a couple things out there that are similar but not really worth the calories to actually purchase. Listen Willy!!! Give the customers what they want and just think - you will make LOTS of money.

I was a senior in Minford Ohio, the 71/72 class year. My wife and I were dating and drove around hunting pop bottles every day so we could turn them in and by a candy bar, Doritos, Mountain Dew for me, and Pepsi for her. But, I always got a Scrunch Bar...oh they were delicious. I have missed them eversense. I also thought I was the only one that remembered them. WOW!!! if they would only bring them back!!! I've always told my kids they were sort of like a 5th Avenue, Butterfinger, Clark bar...but none of those compared to the delicious bright orange nougat inside the "flatter and wider" scrunch bar, so the comparison is not really valid. My mouth is watering while I'm typing this...lol

I have been dreaming about the Willy Wonka Super Scrunch Bar since I had my last one in high school. Every day after school before cheerleader practice I would drive all the cheerleaders in my parents' "woody" station wagon to the Jr. Food Mart in Madison, Mississippi. I always bought a small package of the mini Dolly Madison chocolate doughnuts, a Dr. Pepper and a Willy Wonka Super Scrunch Bar! It was the best candy bar ever! How in the world can we bring it back? I found oompas on a website and many others, but never a super scrunch. What I would give to taste another 1 or 2 or 10 or 100.... :)

The Ben Franklin Store in Warrenton Va. was where my brother and I spent our hard earned 10 cents allowance every Friday evening while our parent grocery shopped. First we would check out the wall where the 10 cent toys were displayed. If nothing new caught our interest, off to the candy aisle. And for several years the scrunch bar was my favorite.

I'd get one every week at the old Bayside Pharmacy in Virginia Beach in the 70's. Some weeks I'd throw in a bag of Oompahs as well. So who do we see about either reviving the original Wonka candy or getting a recipe? Still my favorite!

Love the Skrunch bar... grew up in the '70s, and it and Oompa Loompa's were awesome. I did taste an Hershey's Thingamajig bar, and it is the closest thing I've found to it. Rice crispies and peanut butter combined, flat and rectangular, with a chocolate coating. But that one is hard to find, too! Check it out and let me know if YOU think it's a close substitute?

The Scrunch bar was delicious! I loved it and like everyone else on this website want it back! I have to say my fav bar of all times was the Butternut candy bar. Does anyone remember the Marathon bar or the Caravelle bar? Both delicious also. I encourage everyone to contact the candy companies to ask them to bring back some of these classic candy bars. Memories come flooding back.....summer of 1974.....walking to the city pool, an ice cold pepsi in a glass bottle, in one hand and a scrunch bar in the other.

When i was in late grade school I loved the skrunch bar so much. My mom never wanted us to snack after school and before dinner, which most of the time was never a problem. However, if I were asked to go to the corner store for something, I would ALWAYS rob my piggy bank for change so i could sneak a skrunch bar snack. Skrunch bars were the BEST candy bar ever. I loved the combination of peanut butter and chocolate and whatever else made the skrumchiness. Yum. As I moved in to my tween years I didn't eat any or think much about them. One day, years later I got a skrunch craving and could not find them anywhere. So sad. . . Take away any candy bar . . Kit kat,, milky ways, mars, payday, 3 muskateers, even snickers. But Please let me have just one more skrunch bar!

I loved the scrunch bar. was just thinking about it and found this page. I had contacted Wonka about it and the response I got back said they had no information about making a scrunch bar. Zone Perfect makes a nutrition bar - Peanut Butter and Chocolate that reminded me of a scrunch bar but it isn't as chewy. I remember scrunch being a little more on the flat side. Less thick than a snickers.

My story is about the same as everyone else, but I first had a Scrunch bar in about 1971 and I was 9 years old. My dad bowled in a league every Friday night and so Friday nights for me, my sister and my mom was about watching The Brady Bunch, The Partridge Family, Room 222, and Love American Style.... AND my mom would buy the 3 of us each Scrunch bar every Friday. They were so good. People have commented here about candy bars that are similiar, but I disagree..... the butterfinger crisp bar is good, but it is nothing like the Scrunch and the Whatchamacallit but Hersehy is somewhat close, but not nearly as good. Would love to have one again. YUM!!!!!!

I had them when I was a kid. The scrunch was my favorite and whatchamacallit was my brother's favorite. They were similar but I seem to recall the scrunch wasn't so chewy. It would almost melt in your mouth. Rice crispies with a peanut butter center sounds about right, almost like a chewy reese's peanut butter cup or something. But that's a whatchamacallit more or less and so it's more textural than absolute flavor. 5th avenue has toffee so it's not right. I did also really like the Mars bar and it's hard to find although snickers almond is close. Chunky isn't so easy to find either (Walgreens carries it, though). I don't get why the best tasting candy isn't selling better. I think most people have very simple tastes. Look at Hershey's popularity. God awful sour chocolate.

Loved the Scrunch Bar and have been looking for them for years. Almost forgot the name it has been so long. While fishing at are 10 or so, a friend and I would let them melt in the sun and then "scrunch" them up. We would then put them in an ice cooler so they would harden back up. Makes my mouth water just writing this. Still my favorite candy bar ever.

Yay! So glad others remember this candy. I agree that the scrunch bar was the best ever! They could not possibly have stopped making it because of too few sales. When I was in college at Auburn University, I would walk to the Fast Fare every day to get at least one scrunch bar. Oh, how I long for another. If anyone has any influence, it would be great if some company would make them again. They would make a fortune!

I grew up in a very small town in Eastern PA. My brother's and I would save our allowance just to race to the gas station across the street to get our Super Scrunch bars. They were the greatest candy bar in my child hood. I find myself craving them frequently. When I was going through chemo a few years ago, I thought how great it would be to have one to nibble on. I wish they were still being made. It appears from all the responses in this website are all positive. Thanks for sharing the memories. Sure do wish we could have the real thing though

I'm both glad & sad that so many others are also missing the WW Skrunch bar; like you I have desperately searched far & wide for one but no luck ☹️ You all are correct: NO other candy bar even comes close to the scrumptious crunchiness of a Skrunch bar!! Used to walk up to Jim's Beverage with my best friend in the mid-70s and buy those, Oompahs, Sprees, Wacky Wafers, & that rope gum (what the heck was that called??) We'd munch our candy the whole way home and have such a great time...I would SO love to see the Skrunch bar make a comeback! If anyone knows who we could contact to inquire about bringing them back, please share it here? If these posts are any indication, they'd certainly sell a bunch!!😊

Oompas were my favorite with the Scrunch a close second. STILL remember the time I went into TG&Y and the Wonka bars were 10 for a buck instead of 15 cents! Walking home with ten bars in my sack, I felt RICH. Here’s how bad I have the Wonka bug. In ‘89, I had a dream of wandering into an empty factory. In a dimly lit corner was an unopened case of Oompas. Can’t tell you how happy I was in the dream as I approached the case. Then I woke up😞. Mind you, this was nearly 15 years after I’d had any Wonka candy. GOD, I miss them along with Dolly Madison Googles and GM Pizza Spins! It was a much more innocent time...

I'm 63 years old and was in my teens when I fell in love with Skrunch bars. I have begged the powers that be to make them again. I use to get a lot of strep throats and couldn't swallow anything but the exception to the rule was the Skrunch bar. I hate knowing we can have any old candy that were favorites but not the Skrunch. I think it is time we Skrunch lovers form a rebellion and seek the plant to make us a batch anytime we want. It's terrible realizing I will never get to eat another. I think I'll put my order in to God, He would be sure to have me a box ready to be eaten.

Rick, you and your wife were seniors in high school and used to hunt empty bottles to return for candy money? Ever hear of a job???
