Recreating a vintage sweet treat using a classic Crown Brand recipe

In short: Step into the past to explore a nostalgic dessert. This video demonstrates how to prepare Crown Brand Crunchies, a cereal-based candy using a historical recipe from the Canada Starch Company.

The video walks through the preparation of these cereal squares, a vintage dessert made from crushed corn flakes and Crown Brand corn syrup. The process involves heating sugar, salt, and corn syrup in a saucepan to 180ºF until the sugar dissolves, then blending it with the flakes.

To achieve the correct texture, the mixture must be pressed into a greased 8-inch square pan and cut into small pieces once it has cooled and is almost set.
