Chocolat-ize all the pieces.
That’s what the fantastic of us at Submit determined to do with its second try at a chocolate model of its widespread Honey Bunches of Oats. The primary, Honey Bunches of Oats with Actual Chocolate Clusters, debuted in 2008 and was round for, um, I don’t even know. On the time, I known as it my favourite Honey Bunches of Oats selection, however that may’ve been the sugar speaking as a result of, wanting again on the evaluation, I gave it a 6 out of 10, and I don’t recall ever shopping for a second field.
The cereal that got here out in 2008 had solely chocolate clusters with the standard flakes. This time round, Submit determined to not solely embody crunchy granola clusters made with cocoa and actual chocolate chips but additionally add cocoa to the flakes. This makes for a greater tasting cereal that blows the earlier model out of the milk.
Talking of milk, I’ve to level this out first. Have a look at the photograph beneath of the Lake Titicacao in my bowl.
No, I didn’t cheat by pouring chocolate milk. Watching how shortly the white milk turned brown was like a David Blaine magic trick or spraying down a pig that had simply rolled round within the mud. I poured the cereal into the bowl, added milk, closed the bag within the field, and rotated to place the cereal again within the pantry. Once I turned again round, the milk had utterly turned into chocolatey goodness.
Sniffing this was additionally divine as a result of it smelled like Cocoa Pebbles. Yabba Dabba Do! However it actually shouldn’t be shocking; in any case, Cocoa Pebbles can also be a Submit product, so why not cross-pollinate from some of the chocolatey cereals within the grocery retailer. Nonetheless, this Honey Bunches of Oats doesn’t fairly have the identical cocoa kick because the field rockin’ with Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble. The identical flavors are there, however I’d describe its chocolate style as Cocoa Pebbles for a refined palate however not for a ten-year-old with sugar-crazed style buds.
I did hope the cocoa on the flakes would’ve helped stop them from getting soggy too shortly, which is without doubt one of the cons of any Honey Bunches of Oats selection, however I assume it’s laborious for the cocoa to be some sort of barrier when it immediately washes off into the milk.
Honey Bunches of Oats Chocolate Cereal is my new favourite Honey Bunches of Oats selection. For actual. It’s not the sugar speaking this time.
