Having been out of the UK for almost 30 years I assumed its demise had long since passed. I recently went to Ireland and searched for Crunchies wiht zero success. It seems the Irish never had them..... Recently here in the US the grocery started carrying Violet Crumble which seems to be some sort of spinoff of the Crunchie. Are they still available in the UK?

Oh yes we did. One of my uncles favourites. Dad had a newsagents that sold all sorts of goodies.

I used to love the big square tins of broken biscuits

Irish Crunchie

Cadbury Crunchie 40g

Each bite brings a mouthful of honeycomb heaven. The golden centre is covered in a thick layer of Cadbury milk chocolate, for a delicious blend of crunchiness and softness. Made with sustainably sourced cocoa. Vegetarian friendly.

Seem to remember that many of these had their own advert on telly, usually with a catchy jingle or song to keep us interested ...
