Chocolate Cheerios review

My family currently consists of 2 boys with a girl on the way and we eat LOTS of cereal.  Since I become quite bored with the same cereal over and over again we try a lot of the new ones that come out.  Today I will be telling you a bit about Chocolate Cherrios which has just come to market from General Mills.

I think when you talk about chocolate based cereals you have to talk about two distinct areas of consumption.  The cereal itself and the milk after the cereal is all gone.  Chocolate Cheerios did well in only one of those categories.  There is some sort of weird aftertaste to the cereal for me.  Like an overpowering grain or bran type of taste that ruined the whole cereal.  It was not so bad that I had to throw the bowl away, but after first seeing the cereal in the box, I thought this one was going to be something special, which is was not.  The aftertaste destroyed any hope of cereal love I might have with Chocolate Cherrios.  The chocolate milk left in the bowl was fine, but it could have been I was so underwhelmed with the cereal that I gave the milk the benefit of the doubt. 

Overall, Chocolate Cherrios was nothing special and if I did not eat another bowl I would not feel like I was missing out on anything.  My favorite chocolate cereal is still probably Cocoa Krispies from Kellogg’s
