How to make Wonka bars with Fondant


Moulding fondant has become a sensation in our arts and crafts section at Sugar Bay. We have our campers thinking out of the box and inventing original pieces of art. During our Charlie and the Chocolate Factory themed week, we made Wonka bars in tribute to our chocolate master, Mr Willy Wonka.

If you have a sweet tooth and you love the 1964 classic, here's how to make a Wonka bar.

What you will need: 

  • Fondant 
  • Icing sugar
  • Chopsticks (long and short)
  • Medium sized jar
  • Food colouring (colours of your choice) 
  • Flat board
  • Scissors
  • Toothpicks 

Method: 

Step 1: Separate fondant into 3 pieces. 1 fistful piece (for the wrapper) and 2 smaller pieces (for the
            chocolate bar and Wonka wording).

Step 2: Mix the icing sugar into the pieces until smooth.

Step 3: Squirt the red food colouring (or any colour of your choice for the wrapper) into the bigger
         piece. Then add the brown for the chocolate bar and the third piece to be left white.

Step 4: Work the colour in with your hands until fondant is completely that colour.

Step 5: Place the pieces on the flat board and flatten with the jar.

Step 6: Shape the pieces into the shape of the chocolate bar using the chopsticks.

Step 7: Place the toothpicks on the brown piece to shape the chocolate bars.

Step 8: Shape 'Wonka' letters with the white fondant using the toothpicks.

Step 9: Put the chocolate and wrapper piece together

Step 10: Place the 'Wonka' letters on the wrapper part of your chocolate bar.



There you have it! A Wonka bar in 10 easy steps.
