First of all, I&#8217;ve often professed my love for the combination of chocolate and peanut butter. Second, how can you go wrong with Cheerios? I consider them the great American cereal, and I grew up in a Honey Nut Cheerios household myself. My dad loves &#8217;em. <\/p>\n<p>(And side note, in doing research for this review, I guess I never realized how many Cheerios varieties there actually are. Chocolate, Fruity, Protein, Apple Cinnamon, and many, many more. Now I&#8217;m a little too excited, and currently imagining my husband&#8217;s face if he sees 12 varieties of Cheerios on our next grocery bill. I&#8217;ll tell him it&#8217;s for research, of course!)<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cheerios-Cereal-2.jpg?resize=449%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios Cereal 2\" title=\"Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios Cereal 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"449\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Back to these babies: I&#8217;m gonna cut to the chase. These are great. As soon as you open the box, you get a strong yet pleasant whiff of the chocolate and peanut butter combination. With a flavor that is reminiscent of Reese&#8217;s Peanut Butter Puffs, the Cheerios don&#8217;t taste artificial and aren&#8217;t overly sugary. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cheerios-Cereal-3.jpg?resize=550%2C578&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios Cereal 3\" title=\"Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios Cereal 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"550\" height=\"578\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The two flavors marry together nicely and you still get the original Cheerios grain taste in there as well. It&#8217;s like when you&#8217;re already pleased with the sale price of an item and then it rings up even less when you get to the register. (Who doesn&#8217;t love this?!) Regular Cheerios are classic and delicious, and when you add in these two flavors, it elevates them even more.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cheerios-Cereal-4.jpg?resize=598%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios Cereal 4\" title=\"Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios Cereal 4.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"598\" height=\"480\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One of my favorite things about the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios is the versatility. They taste great dry or with milk, making them an ideal snack. Moms, throw these in your diaper bags, and young professionals like me, pack them in your briefcase for between meetings. That&#8217;s my plan for the rest of the week, unless my husband hijacks the box before I get back to them. <\/p>\n<p>When you do add milk, the Cheerios hold up well and don&#8217;t get soggy instantly. The milk does turn a light brown hue from the chocolate, as you typically find with chocolate cereals, but it doesn&#8217;t take away from the flavor. <\/p>\n<p>The other plus is that the nutritional values aren&#8217;t too shabby for a cereal involving chocolate. I was pleasantly surprised a serving (yes, I did portion it out to the 3\/4 cup serving. Who dictates these serving sizes anyway? It was like a generous handful.) only contains 8 grams of sugar. That&#8217;s less than my morning iced coffee! Good job, Cheerios. All the more reason to make these a snack throughout your day.<\/p>\n<p>Bottom line is if you like Cheerios, chocolate and peanut butter, there&#8217;s really no reason not to give these a try. I don&#8217;t think you&#8217;ll be disappointed. <\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 3\/4 cup \u2013 120 calories, 4 grams of fat, 1 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 190 milligrams of sodium, 21 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 8 grams of sugar, and 3 grams of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b> $2.99<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 11.3 oz. box<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Giant Eagle<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 9 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> Great flavor combination for an iconic American cereal.<br \/>\n<b>Cons:<\/b> Honestly hard for me to find one, except for the fact that I wish General Mills had created this flavor sooner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I knew I was winning before I even opened the box of Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios.
