History

Cadbury Crunchies were first created in 1929 by John Cadbury. The idea for the chocolate bar came about when John Cadbury was looking for a way to use up leftover honeycomb. The honeycomb was originally used in Cadbury's Dairy Milk chocolate, but it was not a popular ingredient. John Cadbury decided to surround the honeycomb with milk chocolate, and the Cadbury Crunchie was born.

Cadbury Crunchies were an instant success, and they quickly became one of Cadbury's most popular chocolate bars. The chocolate bar was so popular that it was even featured in the 1934 film "The Private Life of Henry VIII".

Cadbury Crunchies have continued to be popular ever since they were first created. They are now sold in over 50 countries around the world.
