You can't really overtake them. I even put a paper towel under them to absorb some of the moisture in the beginning. If you have a convection oven it would be faster, but the idea is to get every bit of moisture out of it. Moisture is what makes food go bad, bacteria need moisture to grow. Mine start as one inch squares and end up as ¼ of an inch squares and yes, they are crunchy. If you want them to be more chewy, don't bake them as long, but keep the bulk of them in the freezer, and just take out a weeks worth at a time. You could even cut them on the diagonal and make a longer thin strip that would be chewier; more like beef jerky.
