\"Limited<\/a><\/p>\n

Dear Nick,<\/p>\n

First off, I hope you don\u2019t mind me using your first name. I figure now that I\u2019m older and no longer writing to you on a yearly basis with my egregious gift requests, we could drop the excessive formalities. Speaking of which, I want you to know I harbor no ill will about my letter dated 5 December 1998. Turns out little girls with Olympic aspirations are much more deserving of a pony than any 10-year old boy trying to recreate a scene from Indiana Jones in his backyard. Besides, horses poop. I wouldn\u2019t have wanted to deal with that.<\/p>\n

Anyways, I\u2019m writing to you this year as one cookie fiend to another. You should know that when you shimmy down chimneys this year you may not find the usual assortment of gingerbread men, peanut butter Kisses, and snickerdoodles arranged neatly beside a glass of milk. What you might find is a bowl of cereal in milk.<\/p>\n

I know. It certainly sounds like an egregious attempt to circumvent the spirit of Christmas Eve, or at the very least a cabal by concerned parents trying to teach their children a lesson about saturated fat intake. I also had many reservations. But you, Nick, are more familiar with the inexplicable magic of the season than most, so it should come as no surprise to the man who guides his sled by flying reindeer that cereals can transform into cookies.<\/p>\n

How else can you explain a transformation that defies reason? Not to mention evidence that bakeshop-inspired cereals suck.<\/p>\n

But this cereal doesn\u2019t suck. Actually, it\u2019s pretty freaking good. While looking the same as 2012\u2019s less than memorable Frosted Toast Crunch, Sugar Cookie Toast Crunch is much better. And it\u2019s a worthy substitute for fresh baked cookies in your Christmas Eve travels. And believe me, Nick, I\u2019m a certified expert when it comes to sugar cookies, thanks mostly to the complimentary sugar cookies offered at the Harris Teeter store they opened on our street about a year ago. (Side note: You won\u2019t be putting me on the naughty list for taking more than one on each visit, will you?)<\/p>\n

\"Limited<\/a><\/p>\n

But back to the cereal, or should I say the mini sugar cookies, because that\u2019s what each one of these little squares taste like. They have a lighter texture on the tongue than the other cereals of the Toast Crunch family, but keep that delightful crisp exterior, which in this case glistens with specks of superfine sugar that mirror freshly fallen snow.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a Frosted Flakes taste going on when you eat the squares dry. It\u2019s not cloying and there isn\u2019t any hint of the toasted richness French Toast Crunch used to have, but there\u2019s something about the crispy texture and vanilla flavor of the sugar which inexplicably registers as sugar cookie. It\u2019s as if, by some commutative property of Christmas magic, the essence of whatever makes a sugar cookie a sugar cookie and not, say, a snickerdoodle, has been extracted and sprinkled over each square.<\/p>\n

\"Limited<\/a><\/p>\n

I know you\u2019re not one to eat cookies without milk, and the good news for you (and me) is that Sugar Cookie Toast Crunch tastes amazing in milk. The combination of sugar and milk creates an instant flavor of royal icing, and leaves a rich and sweet end milk which should be bottled and sold. Come to think of that, maybe I\u2019ll add that<\/i> to my Christmas wish list.<\/p>\n

Sugar Cookie Toast Crunch isn\u2019t perfect, Nick. It\u2019s still not as great as Frosted Toast Crunch, and I personally still love Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Chocolate Toast Crunch better. But when it comes to recreating a cookie taste, don\u2019t be so quick to pass over a bowl left out this Christmas Eve. I think you\u2019ll find it\u2019s worth a few presents in some kid\u2019s stocking. Oh yeah, and please send me a pony.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n

Adam<\/p>\n
