Advantages: Tastes great and brings back old school memories

Disadvantages: None

Does anyone remember the good old Australian Crunch,that was always on offer at break times at school.A delicious oaty biscuit base with chocolate smothered on top.Why it is called Australian crunch though beats me.But it is very tasty and I started to make my own,and it tastes just like the ones they used to sell at school.

Give it a try,you won't be disappointed.

3oz Sugar
3oz Coconut
2oz Cornflakes
