Lovely.. easy to make and delicious, will keep this recipe.
Absolutely delicious and easy to make.
You have margarine in the ingredients yet refer to butter. Butter is a better ingredient IMO anything that is made from plastic and never goes off is not really edible even though it may simulate food.
You can use either Margarine or butter but if you use margarine, make sure its suitable for baking.
So easy my 10yr old made some (with supervision of course) Absolutely delicious 🙂
Hi there
This recipe looks lovely and I’m definitely going to give it a bash! I baked crunchies for the first time yesterday, and they were more “chewy” than crunchy! Anyone know why?
Thanks!

delicious an easy to make.it is a favourite already.thanks.
DELICIOUS:P
This is a great recipe; the crunchies come out sweet and cripsy although I do find it better to cook them at 160-170 degrees celcius on top of another baking tin – I find this helps to stop them from burning on the bottom and ensures they to cook through properly.
Absolutely looovvveee them… Same recipe my mom uses, but we lost that one… so glad i found this !!!!
Happy Crunching everyone ….:)
This is an awesome recipe, and so quick to make…. yum yum
Wonderful and Yummy!! just one question..after the crunchies coma out of the oven why is it so difficult to get them out of the tray?! I greased it and yet they still break apart when i try to take them out! help pls
those sound so awesome – a good friend gave me the hint
i will give them a try in the after noon
can.t wait
thank you for a wonderful quick recipe. my family loved it.
Best crunchies ever!! AND easy to make. Thanx a mill!
Just made my second batch as there was just over a tbls of syrup left in the tin I added the whole lot HUGE mistake only add exactly what they say! I also add finely grated orange rind try it you will love it!
I absolutely love crunchies, as do my whole family!
I will be baking a huge amount to give to family and friends for the Chistmas holidays and would appreciate tips on how to store them until I am ready to box and deliver them. Thanks so much!
What great flavour. Only I found same problem as Buggsie. Will definetly try Dee’s suggestion.
im not sure if youre surpose to bake it till its hard, and why does it burn on the bottom so quickly?
Just made them and they came out great… only used half a cup of sugar and added a small hand full of sesame seeds , poppy seeds and sunflower seeds and a generous amount of cinnamon… yum yum yummy… (also baked it at 160)
Please can someone tell me why mine crumbled? Some of it was ok but most of it fell apart?
I love the data on your web sites. Cheers!.
Thank you, i really appreciate with you.
