Mmmmm, crunchies. I have a great chocolate crunchie recipe too, although without icing, that is sooooo easy and sooooo delicious. Will have to give these a try, and can convince myself that they are halfway healthy, what with the presence of so much oats! Re. the flapjack/crunchie debate, I always thought that flapjacks were a lot softer than crunchies, even though the ingredients were the same? I would draw a clear textural distinction between them…

Can’t say that I have had these, although my English guests introduced me to flapjacks, which this seems like is in the the same family. I look forward to trying these, as they look easy and I have all of the ingredients on hand. Yum. Thanks

Mmmm…I think some melted Nutella would be great on top of these

I think I need a glass of milk, because that’s what I like with crunchies - at night when nobody is looking and you can eat as many as you like…..

ooooooo…simply yummy. The recipe looks sinfully easy and as you said, good enough to eat them all in one sitting. I love remembering childhood friends that were more like siblings…and their parents who became like second parents.

Kit, don’t feel too bad. I too have gone native, and now say yogg -urt, instead of yoh-gurt. It happens to the best of us.

Mmm my kids would like these too. I grew up calling them flapjacks in the UK and it was one of the cultural differences between me and my husband that we squabbled about for years - what to teach our children to call them - nowadays though, living in SA, I’ve surrendered and call them crunchies too!
