By 1966, Peter Paul, makers of Almond Joy & Mounds, added Caravelle to their roster, and in short order, also brought along Power House and (Peanut Butter w/) No Jelly. It is not known if Power House actually survived to this day, but No Jelly and Caravelle did not.
Caravelle was the company's answer to Nestle's $100,000 Bar, later rebranded as 100 Grand, and recently sold off, along with the rest of Nestle's candy line.
Check out this ad. Sounds like it might be Lynn Ahrens (Schoolhouse Rock) as the vocalist.
Today, Almond Joy and Mounds are made by Hershey, which acquired Peter Paul and Cadbury some years back. Peter Paul discontinued Caravelle in 1978 after being acquired by Cadbury-Schweppes.
