    i think the closest to them would be Cadburys Mint Crisp. Except not mint, just cereal typed stuff. Dont think you can get them in Ireland, they have Buncha Crunch in America, i think its the same thing, had some today.

    These are the bad ass mofos. Although that's the old style wrapper.
    First had one about 10 years ago when my friend brought me one back from the States. Was in Barcelona a little while ago and they sell them there, so I bought about 14, but alas they didn't last long.

    Basically they are like Ruu said. But instead of mint crispy bits it's like rice/cereal bits.

    Nestle's Crunch bars are good, but they can't compete with 3 Musketeers. Do you have those over there?

    "A lot of Hershey's"?

    Ever try the "mildly sweet dark chocolate"? I eat that stuff every day.

    Delicious and packed with anti-oxidants! There is a God!!

    I worked for Nestlé and they do not sell these products here. However, Euro / Pound Shops bring in Nestlé products from Turkey and other foreign markets. Some of the products which aren't sold here, you can try there. I imagine they are like Dime bars.

    Not really like Dime bars, Dime bars are harder and kinda chewy... Crunch are just chocolate with crunchy stuff in it.

    Do you guys still have Fry bars? Dark chocolate covering a mint filling - I loved those so much someone gave me an entire box of them as a birthday present when I was a kid.

    well, get a return passenger ticket on the ferry, and stock up on them in france. Only cost about €50-€100, and you'd have a (relatively) nice holiday.

    They sell Crunch bars in England, but they're tiny little ones.

    Is there some reason you guys can't get them from Amazon?
