The
Caramello Koala is reputedly the first mass-market chocolate
confection to be based on an
Australian figure, the lovable
marsupial koala.
The UK-owned Cadbury confectonery company introduced the small, bite-sized gooey caramel-filled chocolate koala in the year 1966.
The mould and shape of this favourite children's treat has remained unchanged since its introduction.
