Review: I always like it when my cereal has only five ingredients (even when one of them has four syllables and two different sets of parentheses). Now, if only it was locally sourced and unprocessed. Alas.

I may have forgotten to take a picture. . .

If it wasn't quite obvious, Crisp Rice Cereal is Trader Joe's take on Rice Krispies. It has all of the snapping, crackling, and popping with none of the questionable elves or cringe-inducing "K"rispies.

In an ideal situation this cereal is eaten rapidly with milk and a banana (and if for dinner - not recommended due to lack of nutritional value- with almond butter). Not good soggy. Not good dry. The sweet spot is somewhere in the middle. In order to reach this picture of cereal bliss, one must shovel spoonfuls in vertical divots, so that each bite has a bit of soggy on the bottom from the milk and a bit of crunchy on top and maybe a banana slice just for kicks.
