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.
