We’re always torn between who we are and who we aspire to be.
I was a miserable kid, and I grew up to be a cranky adult. That much will not be changing.
But, I always wish to have a higher energy level. To be crunk instead of lethargic.
And so, you can imagine how excited I was to find CRUNKY. The chocolate bar that perfectly fuses who I am with who I want to be: crunk and cranky!
Crunky is a milk-chocolate bar with tiny wheat puffs inside. It smells mildly like those two ingredients. On top, it has a smooth “Lotte” embossing. Lotte is a Korean company and the bar itself is made in Japan.
At the bottom of the bar, you can see this bumpy texture:
Those are the wheat puff showing.
When you bite into it, there is a gentle crunch sound and you feel the texture of the puffs – a bit like Rice Krispies. This bar reminded me of a time (about 10 years ago) when I created homemade chocolate bars by melting chocolate and blending it with puffed quinoa.
The flavour is that of good quality milk chocolate, with a little bit of a caramel taste from those toasted puffs. Everything is light. These flavours are not punchy, and they leave a mild wheat aftertaste.
A mysterious friend of the blog tried some, and claimed they had it before. Another friend of the blog, Chad G. Petey, said that the most similar North American bar is Nestlé Crunch – made with milk chocolate and puffed rice.
Verdict: four puffs out of five 💨💨💨💨
