For the sake of synergy, I hoped S’mores Loaded Cereal would’ve been Golden Grahams S’mores Loaded. The moniker has been used a pair of instances, so why not give the uncared for O.G.G. (Authentic Golden Grahams) some L-O-V-E. As for the Chocolate Strawberry Loaded Cereal, it suits with the present Valentine’s season that started effectively earlier than all of the air was taken out of the final Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade balloon.
The 2 new Loaded Cereals be part of a loaded lineup that features Trix, Cocoa Puffs, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and Birthday Cake. Earlier than making an attempt them, I predicted I’d benefit from the S’mores one way more than the Chocolate Strawberry, however to my shock, that wasn’t the case.
With this fruity and chocolatey cereal, the strawberry stands out greater than the cocoa creme filling, and pondering again to all the opposite strawberry-flavored breakfast cereals I’ve had previously, this one is likely to be one of the best tasting. Whereas the chocolate performs second fiddle, it provides a little bit of decadence to the bowl. Sadly, whereas I used to be capable of eat two bowls of it, my five-year-old son appeared to love these greater than I did and guarded the cereal like a lioness defending her cubs. One time, after I needed some as a snack, he gave me a stink eye as I pulled the field from the cupboard. Then he mentioned, “That cereal is crimson, and so is your blood. I hope we don’t need to see your blood, Daddy.” I thought of {that a} menace, so I returned the cereal and grabbed the S’mores one as a substitute.
Whereas I favor the Chocolate Strawberry one and need I may eat extra, the S’mores Loaded Cereal is nice. Though, at first, I assumed the items lacked a marshmallow style. However after just a few extra spoonfuls, my style buds may detect a touch of one thing marshmallow-y. They’ve a noticeable chocolate aroma within the bag, however that doesn’t translate to a daring chocolate taste. It’s barely much less noticeable than the creme within the different new taste. Additionally, I style extra of the underlying wheat as a substitute of a graham taste. It’s not optimum, but it surely doesn’t destroy the cereal.
After I tried the unique Loaded flavors, there was a, for lack of a greater phrase, sliminess to them once they sat in milk for too lengthy. It’s nonetheless there with these, however much less so than what I skilled earlier than. Additionally, very like the unique varieties, I feel these make for a greater dry snack than in a bowl with milk, it doesn’t matter what type of dairy is used.
As I discussed, I preferred the Chocolate Strawberry Loaded over S’mores Loaded, however I loved each greater than the earlier Loaded Cereal varieties.
