These crunchies bring back so many memories from childhood. We used to travel to the coast for holidays and of course our father would not stop to eat or drink. Therefore my mother used to make large quantities of these crunchie squares for the trip to nibble on. Also a great snack for holidays for the kids and healthy and very filling. So popular with many people.
They are a versatile snack and you can add chocolate chips or dip them in chocolate.
But plain is still the best.
