    Crunchie

    Share
    Facebook Twitter Pinterest WhatsApp Reddit Email

    Crunchie was originally launched in the UK by JS Fry & Sons in 1929. It was an instant success.

    The method of making the crunchy, sugary honeycomb centre was a complicated secret, but in 1935 the management of Rowntree’s received a package promising to reveal the secret in return for £5,000.

    Shocked by this treachery, Rowntree’s immediately ratted out the sender to Fry’s back in Bristol.

    Cadbury’s took over the production of the bars in the early 1970s.
