Homemade “Crunchie Rocks” Chocolates
Homemade Crunchie Rocks chocolate candy is a homemade version of Cadbury’s Crunchie Rocks. Make your own homemade honeycomb to make it even better.
As many of you know, I was born in Scotland, and with that came growing up with some of the best candies (sweeties) in the world! (I’ll take on anyone who wants to argue that point!)

One of my favorites has always been Cadbury’s Crunchie, otherwise known as “puff candy,” “honeycomb,” or “cinder toffee.”
In the US, I’ve seen it sold as “Sea Foam” but the chocolate it’s coated in, is not Cadbury’s, but some waxy version of “chocolate.” So although the candy center is good, the chocolate makes it disappointing. Australia also has it’s own version called “Violet Crumble” and it’s been so long since I’ve had one, I can’t compare it to Cadbury’s (help me out here, Lisa!)
On a recent visit to England, I discovered a new Crunchie item called “Crunchie Rocks” and fell in love! It’s pieces of Crunchie, and corn flakes, coated in Cadbury’s chocolate.
I recently finished a bag, and as I often do with non-homemade food, thought to myself, “Why can’t I make these?” Well, I’ve attempted to make “puff candy” before and failed, but I did have some bars of Crunchie on hand, as well as corn flakes and some really good quality dark chocolate! Ooooh–I liked that idea.
Now those of you who are in the UK can go buy Crunchie Rocks whenever you feel like it, but the rest of us aren’t quite so lucky. My brain goes mad with the possibilities of this recipe: you can mix any chocolate bar pieces with corn flakes, or even rice krispies and cover it in a favorite chocolate and make your own personalized candy! I know I’m going to be experimenting. I was so delighted with this homemade Crunchie rocks candy version, that I may even try making the homemade “puff candy” again!
Homemade “Crunchie Rocks” Chocolates
- 2 Crunchie Bars (or 5 oz of Sea Foam or Honeycomb candy)
- 3/4 cup (1 oz) corn flakes
- 1 cup (7 oz) good quality milk or dark chocolate, whatever you prefer
Break the candy into small pieces.
Place in a bowl with the corn flakes.
Next, melt the chocolate in the microwave or over a double-boiler, and pour onto the candy and corn flakes.
Stir gently until you can no longer see pieces of candy or flakes.
Drop the homemade Crunchie rocks onto a paper lined baking sheet, by teaspoonful or tablespoonful, depending on how big you want the candies.
Place in the fridge for about 20 minutes or until hardened.
Remove the homemade Crunchie rocks candies from the paper and place in an airtight tin. However, not before you sample at least one and bite into all that crunchy (Crunchie) chocolate deliciousness!
I can guarantee these won’t last long!
They also make fantastic gifts, especially during the winter holidays.

Wooo hoooo now I can stop asking my cousins in Ireland to send me the bags of Crunchie Rocks and make my own. On my way to the grocery store to get what I need. Thanks soooo much. I do t k is what it is about British chocolate, but it truly is the best
Aren’t they so good!? I need to repost this recipe making homemade crunchie (honeycomb) and retake the photos (so old and bad, haha)! Enjoy!
Oh my gosh! I’ve been coating my cornflakes and my honeycomb in Cadburys Royal Dark for years but never thought to add them together!! Woohóoo 🎉 what an idea. I haven’t noticed the crunchies here in the USA before but then I never buy candy for any reason. I’ve always made my own. I can’t wait to try this….I’m so excited. Will let you know, but it has to be good. P. S. When I did my DNA test I was more Scottish & French than I knew.
Ooooh, the cornflake AND Crunchie combo is brilliant, Bea! Enjoy! Lucky you to be Scottish and French! :)
Violet Crumbles are fine if you can’t get your mitts on a Crunchie!! The honeycomb is a lot more brittle and the chocolate way thinner. However, any port in a storm and all that………….
I sometimes smash one up to use in Rocky Road or fold through vanilla ice cream when making a 3 layer ice cream birthday cake.
Oooh, I like the sound of those ideas! How can you go wrong with anything Crunchie? :)
Great post! British candies are truly the best, I must try this. I can guarantee these won’t last long in my house, either. I love all the pictures that you put with the recipes, they are very helpful.
Thank you, Nancy! I really appreciate your comment-hope you like them as much as we do! CC
