It brings tears to my eyes to see that my beloved Crunchie bar has such a nice Wikipedia entry. Rob Banzai 19:40, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

Has anyone else noticed that one slight bit of a crunchie bar, close to the side, is slightly sticky and chewy? I have, and I'm very dissapointed. Why?

We too have found that this defect is degrading our enjoyment of this fabulous type of chocolate bar. We have found that the *dodgy* side is the side at the top of the text, check it out and let us know if you are experiencing the same thing! This seems to happen mostly on the 40g fundraising bars.

[edit] Additional Sizes and Variations

I have seen bite-sized "Crunchie Nuggets" in Australia, sold in a foil bag. I presume they are available in the UK as well (http://www.britishdelights.com/prod_ca4031.htm). Can someone from there confirm the details and augment the "Size and Variations" section?

Do any of our UK friends know the details of this item?

[edit] Nutrition

Have updated the 40g bar nutritional information. Have just bought 40g that seems to have more realistic values than those stated earlier.

Was: Per Bar (40g): Energy 665kJ/160kcal, Protein 0.9g, Carbohydrate 16.3g, Fat 4.4g Now: Per Bar (40g): Energy 775kJ/185kcal, Protein 1.6g, Carbohydrate 27.8g, Fat 7.6g

[edit] Oh wow.

This page is mouthwatering, then imagine what the Crunchie is like for real! Like gold, so precious and sweet, wow, to die for..

[edit] Similarity to Violet Crumble

Sure, they are both bars of honeycomb covered in chocolate. But the Crunchie is softer and spongier I find while the Violet Crumble has hard, shattery honeycomb. I prefer the Crunchie personally, it doesn't threaten to slice my mouth with honeycomb shards. Gemfyre (talk) 05:56, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
