Whimsical Wonka Wonders in Indianapolis
Before Charlie, before the chocolate factory, there was Wonka.
The newly released Wonka movie will tell the story of how the beloved character we know and love today was determined to change the world one bite at a time. Speaking of one bite at a time, indulge yourself in some of Indy’s beloved and cherished sweet treats. To celebrate the whimsical Wonka character, here are some of the best nostalgic flavors in Indy.
Best Chocolate in Town
Pick your delightful bite from an assortment of chocolate bars, barks, toffees, caramels, chocolate pies and truffles. Milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or white chocolate; the decision is yours. Best Chocolate in Town is locally operated and owned by Carrie Abbott, who's known for being an exceptional Indy advocate.
Circle City Sweets
Croissants, pastries, breads, danishes, scones, macarons and more! Circle City Sweets is the premiere shop for French Style favorites!
DeBrand
DeBrand chocolates are the perfect choice to take you back to the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as you bite into your piece of chocolate. Their pieces use high quality ingredients, centers are made from scratch and have first class packaging.
Punkins Pies
Located in THE AMP, this sweet treat business serves up the fanciest chocolate covered strawberries dipped in edible glitter (Strawberry Crunch is a best-seller and customer favorite). If Wonka had social media, this Instagram-worthy strawberry would make his feed.

Literally Divine Toffee and Truffles was founded by Suzanne Litteral, a classically trained dancer who has an exuberant passion for high quality chocolate.
