Sound of peanut brittle (6)

I believe the answer is:

crunch

(Other definitions for crunch that I've seen before include "Bite noisily - moment of decision" , "Crush noisily" , "moment of difficulty" , "Process (lots of data)" , "Crush with the teeth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
