Just cast to `Crumbs[]` directly:

    import std.bitmanip;
    import std.stdio;
    import std.file;

    struct Crumbs {
        mixin(bitfields!(
            ubyte, "one",   2,
            ubyte, "two",   2,
            ubyte, "three", 2,
            ubyte, "four",  2
        ));
    }

    void main(string[] argv)
    {
        auto raw = read("binaryfile");
        auto buffer = cast(Crumbs[]) raw;

        foreach (cmb; buffer) {
            writefln("Crumb one:   %s", cmb.one);
            writefln("Crumb two:   %s", cmb.two);
            writefln("Crumb three: %s", cmb.three);
            writefln("Crumb four:  %s", cmb.four);
        }
    }

I like that :-)
