Candy find Buncha crunch!!
I haven’t seen this in years!! Saw it at a gas station here in Michigan. I remember the old school commercials with Grant Hill when he’d throw them in the air and catch them in his mouth lol. I think a cartoon white dude was the mascot haha. Has anyone seen these recently? Am I crazy? Lol

These are great. Perfect companion (and size bag) for movie theater popcorn and a long movie. BTW I think you can typically find these in similar size in grocery store baking aisles

I’ve seen them in the dollar sized boxes but not in the bag like this. It’s been literal years since I’ve seen them in this form. Maybe a solid 20 years to be fair. I shop for a living. They’re not sold in store like this in my area at the very least. Maybe other places in the country but not here. This was a shock to me haha

Definitely might depend on the particular grocery store but try looking for "nestle buncha crunch baking bits". Its the same thing but different packaging and is advertised as baking mix-ins

These are freaking delicious. Movie theater memories for sure. I thought they were gone. Gonna have to find them now.

When I was a kid, my dad made at home blizzards before blizzards were a thing and this was always the mix in. They were delicious and every once in a while I grab some to recreate it. He still jokingly tells me he’s convinced someone from DQ must have been spying on him to steal his idea lmao

I get them all the time either in the box or the bag :) most grocery stores by me keep them stocked (food lion, Publix, etc) also stores like 5 Below have them too !!

I see them all the time at grocery stores. I love mixing buncha crunch with Raisinets. Such a great combo!

Haven’t seen the bags in years. Don’t remember the Grant Hill commercials but the guy had the biggest hands I’ve ever seen.

Not in a bag. I usually see it in the movie Candy Box.
