Review: This General Mills cereal (a veritable GIANT in the world of cereal and the originator-according to Wikipedia-of the first flaxen Golden Graham) was first introduced to the public in 1976 and has since led an exciting and controversial life which included at one point being banned in the UK for having too much sugar.

Golden Grahams in the raw

However, this blog is not about the history of cereals. It is about the HERE and NOW. And here and now I find Golden Grahams to be really quite good until milk lands on them, at which point they become floppy little slime squares.

So I ate them dry (raw if you will). And they were delicious that way. Crunchy and sweet and texturally appealing.

Overall, I prefer Honey Grahams, but if Golden Grahams are on sale, they are a good alternate, like the very sweet cousin to popcorn.
