Review: The Chocolate Cheerios were given to me by a coworker who knows how much I enjoy cereal (and whose children apparently were unable to make it through the Costco size box). To me, Chocolate Cheerios are the kind of sad gerbil to Chocolate Chex's puppy. I would probably like them a lot if Chocolate Chex didn't exist, but they do.

Chocolate Cheerios get the Cheerio slime coating when they have been in milk for a little while and they just don't have that same chocolate zing that makes Chocolate Chex so irresistible. And honestly, they're just a little too sweet for me. Apparently that extra 1.4g of sugar per serving just threw me over the edge. Overall though, it's a good cereal. I wouldn't buy it, but I did eat an entire box of it by myself this week, so that says something, right?
