Willy Wonka Announces His New Wonka Golden Egg Collection for Easter 2007

Charlie had his Golden Ticket and now there's the Wonka ® Golden Egg. The Golden Egg is a whimsical and wacky phenomenon from legendary candy maker Willy Wonka . The collection includes a variety of sizes and flavors debuting this spring, just in time for Easter. The Wonka Golden Egg is sure to become the egg to find at Easter egg hunts across the nation.

Produced by Nestlé, the official home of Willy Wonka 's candy factory, the one-of-a-kind Wonka Golden Egg Collection includes four new products. They are: The Wonka Egg Hunt With A Golden Egg kit (five or 11 colorful plastic eggs pre-filled with SweeTarts®, Laffytaffy® and Nerds®, plus one ready-to-fill Wonka Golden Egg); the Wonka Golden NestEggs (bite-sized, milk chocolate eggs with graham cracker cookie pieces); the Wonka Golden Creme Egg (chocolate crème and caramel-filled eggs with graham cracker cookie pieces); and the oversized Wonka Golden Large Chocolate Egg (an individual milk chocolate hollow egg filled with Wonka SweeTarts® candy eggs).

The ready-to-go Wonka Egg Hunt With A Golden Egg kit requires minimal preparation and delivers on big fun. Standing out from the 11 pre-filled plastic eggs in an assortment of bright spring colors is one very special Wonka Golden Egg that can be filled with treasures of all kinds. A perfect companion to traditional dyed eggs, the Wonka Egg hunt eggs make great lunch box treats and can be used for creative craft projects throughout the season. The Wonka Egg hunt kit can be the start of a memorable holiday filled with family fun and the magic of Wonka .

Other new Wonka Golden Egg offerings this Easter season include:

The new Wonka Golden NestEggS, a 12 oz. package of milk chocolate miniature eggs covered in shiny gold wrappers. The bite-sized chocolates are filled with graham cracker cookie pieces giving them a delicious flavor and crunch.

The Wonka Golden Creme Egg, available individually or in a pack of four, is a milk chocolate shell filled with caramel and graham cracker cookie pieces.

And last, the Wonka Golden Large Chocolate Egg is an oversized, hollow milk chocolate egg that stands nearly five inches tall and is filled with SweeTarts egg-shaped candies. It can serve as the grand prize in a Wonka Egg hunt. The jumbo egg is nestled inside a purple or gold box with carrying handle.

Maybe we'll see Johnny Depp or Gene Wilder in a sequel starring a Golden Egg instead of a Golden Ticket?
