Energy Crunchies was originally formulated for enjoyment only.  It is a softer baked, hand-made crunchie, which can be given to babies (without teeth) to sports people on the move.  After many years of producing this energy crunchie for enjoyment and as gifts, it was eventually labeled as a sports sustainable Tough Koekie by a 80 year young female x hiker who saw the benefit of this Tough Koekie and hiked up Table Mountain; Hikers walking the Otter Trail and other Trails, swimmers and little swimmers giving feedback that it sustains the screaming hunger after swimming. Runners and marathon runners confessing that it sustains their energy levels and the need for nasties are eliminated.  It assists from young to wise with digestive health and well-being. It's shelve life is at least 6 months, however, you will finish eating it in less than 30 minutes! It is also delicious and your tongue will ask for more!
