A question for the Escapists in the UK/Ireland

[bak00777]

One of my professors is from Northern Ireland and the other day we somehow got off topic and started talking about candy. She kept talking about this candy bar called a Crunchie (i think that is how you spell it). Now the question is what does it taste like? I think she said something about a honeycomb, but i didnt know if she was refering to the breakfast ceral or an actual honey comb.

It's basically similar to a Kit Kat Chunky but rather than having a biscuit inside it's basically got crispy honey. They're pretty tasty.

Honeycomb is, I think, solidified honey. Not too sure though.

As for the bar, it's honeycomb wrapped in chocolate. If you like honeycomb, you'll like it. If you don't (like me) you buy something else instead.

Like...honey with chocolate. And crunchy. Too sickly for me though.

Honeycomb is basically melted sugar with bicarbonate of soda, when it soldifies you get this nice, light, crunchy stuff.

It's very tasty and can be covered in chocolate (like a crunchy).

Crunchies are delicious! Veeeery sweet though...... Yeah a kinda honeycomb knitted together kinda thing, wrapped in a thin layer of chocolate.

Its quite nice. The Honeycombed centre can hurt your tongue if your not carefull though.

If you've ever had a Yorkie Honeycomb (which was then discontinued, boooo!) they're very similar but with more of a honeycomb to chocolate ratio.

I love crunchies. I always get that Friday feeling, especially on a Monday, Tuesday, a Wednesday, perhaps on a Thursday, definitely Friday...

I LOVE CRUNCHIES. And its by Cadbury's.

They are good, it's an exactly what it says on the tin sort of describing how you eat it. i.e. its crunchy. The other posts describe it more accurately. All I can say is that they taste great.

Honeycomb covered in chocolate, it is godly

 

[Woodsey]

It's honeycomb in chocolate. And it is good.

All you ever wanted to know (or something).

Crunchies are pretty good, I'd recommend trying one at least once =P

 

[Daffy F]

I love crunchies

 

[Tharwen]

Oh, I didn't know they were unique to our little landmass. Anyway, they're... indescribable. Get a friend to send one over to you!

 

[IcyEvils]

Ouch, she's from Northern Ireland? How on earth can you stand our accent?! As others have said, its honeycomb wrapped in a thin layer of milk chocolate.

And it defies the laws of space and time.

Very light and crisp in the middle, with a thin chocolate coating. Bit too sweet for me, I'm a Bounty guy.
