I got them when I was in Ireland and can't seem to find something similar here. Although - I know there is something close and I can't think of what it is. I am sure that I can order them online but, I was hoping someone knew what I was talking about. *Attached Image:* My last "Crunchie" "it's the neck, it creaks under the weight of too much heavy thinking."

Pretty much all of the grocery stores around here (except the big chains like Safeway) carry Crunchie, Flake, and all that. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

Hugs, Heidi Or until then I'm willing to share some of my chocolate another teacher and I really need to find a chocoholics anonymous...we've gotten bad and just keep dragging the other deeper into the darkness....can't say which of those has been my favorite but some are as good if not better than cough walking the dog and bowling cough *Attached Image:* "I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom."

rjmcbean Hobbyist Like a Farmer Posts: 117 Kudos: 75 Votes: 415 Registered: 20-Jun-2005	I have looked at around here (Albany, NY) and have not been able to find anything. I was hoping to find them a different way than ordering them in bulk over the internet. Doedogg. . If you think of it, I will send you money. But, please don't go out of your way. I am sure I will survive. (For a little while at least. haha.) Butler's homemade chocolate is also my favorite over there but I would have to get that in Bulk as well. Good thing I have a birthday coming up soon. haha "it's the neck, it creaks under the weight of too much heavy thinking."

NowherMan6 Fish Master Posts: 1880 Kudos: 922 Votes: 69 Registered: 21-Jun-2004	Mmmm, Crunchie bars... When I worked in London those were my FAVORITES! Three three hardest thing to deal with when I came back to the States: 1.) no Penguins with tea or milk 2.) no crunchies 3.) no cream eggs on demand in the subway I gained quite a bit of weight over there... *Back in the saddle!*

Troy_Mclure Fish Addict Posts: 725 Kudos: 306 Registered: 20-Jan-2003	man I feel like ive gained a few pounds just by reading this thread! While youre out searching for crunchie bars ask for crunchie icecream bars. Holy cow those things are food of the gods. I could eat them by the bucket load but thanks to common sense and self control I dont.

I definately have a few options, which would be cheaper than flying back to Ireland. haha Although anyone interested in sending me a few chocolate bars, I will be more than happy to PM my mailing address. I am now Officially "Crunchie"-less. deep inhale, holding... holding.... "it's the neck, it creaks under the weight of too much heavy thinking."
