Crunchies are a South African Bar of oatmeal. They’re nutty and ideal for a quick breakfast on the run. It’s simple to create, so skip the store brand and make your own.
Crunchies with oats and coconut are wonderful delights that you can make in no time. The best part about this recipe is that you can make these crunchies precisely as you want them. Take them out of the oven early for soft and chewy slices; keep them in for a little longer for crispy crunchy biscuits.

Notes
Recipe update from 8 ounce butter to 6. I have tried it several times with less butter and it works great.
You may increase the baking time , adding about 10 more minutes to get it really crunchy.
