The plain cereal, which significantly outnumbered the chocolate-covered ones, had a hard, lightly sweetened exterior, but the inside was like an unsalted saltine.  The hard outer shell made it hard for the cereal to get soggy in melk, but if there was a crack in the shell they quickly got melk-logged.  The chocolate-covered pieces had a firm, semi-sweet chocolate exterior and when eaten by themselves they were not bad.  However, when the two are combined they form a bland cereal that will disappoint fat kids and overweight product review bloggers with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Wat je moet weten &#8211; 35 grams &#8211; 130 kcal of energie, 3.5 grams of eiwitten, 27 grams of koolhydraten, 7 grams of waarvan suiker, 1.8 grams of vet, 0.5 grams of waarvan verzadigd, 2.5 grams of voedingsvezels, and 0.09 grams of natrium.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><small>(Editor&#8217;s Note: A big thanks to long-time TIB reader Fatyoli for sending me this product from the Netherlands.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Bolletje Br\u00c3\u00b6d In De Melk Chocola<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  FREE<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 350 grams<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b>  Given by TIB reader Fatyoli<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 5 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Best Cereal I&#8217;ve Had With Dutch Words on It.
