Review: Corn Bitz are (obviously) the Fred Meyer store brand version of Corn Chex. As such, they are good at all of the things that Corn Chex are good at. As a dry cereal, they are a pleasant and crunchy snack. As a milk and banana complemented cereal, they are the perfect combination of textures. And as Muddy Buddies, they are a snacky dessert, which is remarkably hard to stop eating.

If you've never had Corn Bitz before, imagine Corn Flakes shaped like tiny cages, and you'll pretty much have it. I'm not sure that I like Corn Bitz as much as Corn Chex, but then again, I haven't had Corn Chex in quite some time so the comparison will have to wait. Overall, I can say with confidence that they are not a disappointment.
