Well, two things. One, they say when life gives you bad cereal, you make cereal treats or milkshakes. Two, this cereal is surprisingly wonderful.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s surprising because Malt-O-Meal has this reputation as being an inexpensive generic brand, like Mountain Breeze is to Mountain Dew, and generic brands tend to be not good copycats of the big name brand. Well, two things. One, this cereal somewhat a copycat of last year\u2019s Limited Edition Hot Cocoa Cocoa Puffs. Two, it\u2019s 10 times better than that big brand limited edition cereal.<\/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\/2018\/03\/Malt-O-Meal-Double-Chocolate-Brownie-Crunch-Cereal-2.jpg?resize=550%2C550&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Malt O Meal Double Chocolate Brownie Crunch Cereal 2\" title=\"Malt O Meal Double Chocolate Brownie Crunch Cereal 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"550\" height=\"550\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The crispy corn puffs are made with real cocoa. They don\u2019t taste like brownies, but they have a bold chocolate flavor that makes me go cuckoo for Double Chocolate Brownie Crunch. Sorry, Sonny. The marshmallows are also a little chocolatey and there\u2019s A LOT of them. They have a pleasant squish when in milk. And speaking of milk, what\u2019s left at the bottom of the bowl after all the cereal disappears\u00a0is a delightful, sweet\u00a0liquid that must be slurped up.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m sad that I\u2019m almost done with the bag of Malt-O-Meal\u2019s Double Chocolate Brownie Crunch. Maybe because I\u2019ve spent so much time with it. There\u2019s so much cereal in this bag that it\u2019s taken me weeks to finish it. Or maybe I\u2019m sad because it&#8217;s one of the best chocolatey cereals I\u2019ve had in a long time and I\u2019m going to need to buy an inexpensive bag soon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCLOSURE:<\/strong> I received a free sample from Post Cereals.
