6. Bake the coffee crunchies for 30 minutes until golden brown.
7. Once baked, immediately cut the hot crunchies into 40 uniform rectangles while still in the baking dish. *Chef’s Tip: Cut the crunchies while they are hot before they harden and set!

9. Serve the rusks with a hot cup of NESCAFÉ Classic Original and ENJOY! *Chef’s Tip: Store the coffee crunchie rusks in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks!
