More crunchy; comparative form of crunchy, describing something that makes a loud snapping or crackling sound when chewed or broken.
From 'crunch' (imitative verb from the sound) plus '-y' to make an adjective, then '-er' for the comparative form. Developed in modern informal English to describe texture.
The word 'crunch' itself is onomatopoeia—it literally sounds like the thing it describes! So 'crunchier' is really just comparing which version sounds louder and crisper when you bite it.
