At the same time, I think that it\u2019s also pretty much every parent\u2019s dream to get their kids to eat something at least somewhat nutritious before they load them onto the school bus. <\/p>\n<p>Luckily for sugar-hungry kids and sleep-deprived parents everywhere, Cookie Crisp is here to bridge the gap! With cookies for the kids and 12 vitamins and minerals to keep the parents happy, who can complain, right?<\/p>\n<p>Since they\u2019ve already succeeded in bringing miniature chocolate chip cookies into the cereal bowls of millions of kids everywhere, Cookie Crisp has seemingly set its sights on an entirely new confection to cereal-ize: birthday cake! <\/p>\n<p>After unsealing the bag to appreciate the aroma of freshly-opened cereal, I have to say, this is one of the most delicious smelling cereals I&#8217;ve ever bought! It <em>literally<\/em> smells like an ice cream parlor, and it made me super excited to have a bowl of these crispy cake-flavored-cookies as my post-workout snack. <\/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\/04\/Limited-Edition-Birthday-Cake-Cookie-Crisp-Cereal-2.jpg?resize=482%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Limited Edition Birthday Cake Cookie Crisp Cereal 2\" title=\"Limited Edition Birthday Cake Cookie Crisp Cereal 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"482\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Weighing out a proper portion quickly quieted any excitement that I had, though. I\u2019ve never really thought about it much before, but 26 grams of cereal is so small! It barely even fills my cereal bowls halfway. If you\u2019re eating this as a meal, expect to double or triple the serving size, along with the nutrition facts. <\/p>\n<p>Birthday Cake Cookie Crisp looks the same as regular Cookie Crisp, only it seems that it\u2019s traded the usual chocolate bits on the cereal for a sprinkling of Fruity Pebbles dust instead.<\/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\/04\/Limited-Edition-Birthday-Cake-Cookie-Crisp-Cereal-3.jpg?resize=598%2C465&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Limited Edition Birthday Cake Cookie Crisp Cereal 3\" title=\"Limited Edition Birthday Cake Cookie Crisp Cereal 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"598\" height=\"465\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I decided to eat a handful of them by themselves before I poured milk into the rest of my bowl, and any anticipation that I may have had left quickly dissipated. They don\u2019t taste like birthday cake at all! The flavor of the corn completely overpowered everything else, and all I tasted was a generic cereal! <\/p>\n<p>I mean, it\u2019s not awful or anything, but it doesn\u2019t taste different from anything else out there. Certainly not like the cookie-cake-cereal hybrid that I was promised. Eating the cereal with milk nuances the intensity of the corn flavor, but it still doesn\u2019t bring out any cake flavor.<\/p>\n<p>If I hadn\u2019t seen the box before eating this, I would just tell you I was eating regular cereal puffs or something. In brief, this is one limited edition item that\u2019s not worth your trouble to seek out.<\/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\/04\/Limited-Edition-Birthday-Cake-Cookie-Crisp-Cereal-4.jpg?resize=598%2C422&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Limited Edition Birthday Cake Cookie Crisp Cereal 4\" title=\"Limited Edition Birthday Cake Cookie Crisp Cereal 4.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"598\" height=\"422\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It does work to make some pretty good miniature ice cream sandwiches with, though.
