Crunchy squishies - also called crispy squishies or wax cracking squishies - are squishy toys with a thin crispy shell. Squeeze one and the shell cracks with a crunch you can hear and feel.

Every Crinklet is handmade: a wax shell over a soft clay core, shaped like the food you love - sushi, croissants, fish balls, lotus root and more. Crack the shell, let it crumble, then squish the clay inside like play-dough. In China the trend is called 脆皮捏捏 (crispy-skin squishy), and it took off on Douyin as one of the most satisfying ASMR toys around.
