Product Description[edit | edit source]

Munchies are small, square-shaped confections that consist of a biscuit and caramel center, coated in milk chocolate. The biscuit provides a crunchy texture, while the caramel adds a soft, chewy element. The milk chocolate coating gives the snack its sweet, creamy flavor.
