Crunchies first appeared in "The Axe Forgets," the fifth episode of the Disney+ television series Andor. Although unnamed in dialogue, they are identified in both the episode's script and descriptive audio.
The cereal box was designed by graphic designer Barry Gingell, who created several prototypes made out of cardboard to get the flap right, before adding a stripe and a window. Set dec advanced prop modeller then created the box from styrene. The cereal pieces used are the blue and purple pieces from the real-life cereal Trix Trolls World Tour with Marshmallows. Prop master Martyn Doust viewed the cereal as a very mundane, everyday piece of life. He added a bowl and spoon, which he considered the basic parts of cereal. Before filming, the props department asked Syril Karn's actor, Kyle Soller, if there was anything he did not eat, and he replied there was not. They then showed him the cereal, which he thought looked like "Star Wars Cocoa Puffs." Soller said the cereal was surprisingly delicious and tasted like "dreams and unicorns."
