I don’t think I’ll ever be able to eat a Crunchie bar without thinking about my great grandmother, who used to dispense treats from a big bag next to her favourite chair. Her candy of choice: honeycomb toffee, the crunchy candy that you’ll find inside of a Crunchie bar.
That stuff is delicious on its own, and it’s even better when it’s coated in chocolate.
It is, as the name implies, exceptionally crunchy, though it basically melts in your mouth, so it’s not the type of thing that you have to chew on forever. It’s extremely sweet (it’s essentially just pure sugar), but is has enough of a deep caramelized flavour to balance that out. The taste almost reminds me of the crispy top of a creme brulee.
The thick layer of milk chocolate complements it very well, with a nice creaminess and chocolatey flavour that goes perfectly with the crunchy honeycomb toffee. It’s a top notch candy bar.
