Answer: Wonka bar

Wonka bars first appeared in the 1964 novel "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", and came to exist as a real life brand in 1971 to tie with the movie "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory" starring Gene Wilder. It was bought by Nestlé in 1988, and was re-launched in 2005 to tie in with the Tim Burton movie of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". Whether or not the real life version matches up to its fictional counterpart as the "perfect candy bar" is a matter of opinion!
