"Candy" includes chocolate, but is not limited to it. Candy bars often do have chocolate as a main ingredient, but may also contain things like nougat, caramel, peanuts, and even pretzels.

What's really curious is that Dahl's "chocolate factory" also produced things like soda and gum, although this was not reflected in the title. Admittedly, though, doing so might have required another change, on the order of "Jack and the Snack Factory", or even "Josh and the Nosh Factory".
