\"Limited<\/p>\n

What is it?<\/h3>\n

General Mills has launched a new festive cereal just in time for the holidays.<\/p>\n

Except that it isn\u2019t new. Chocolatey Winter Lucky Charms is just regular Chocolate Lucky Charms with the marshmallows from last year\u2019s Cinnamon Vanilla version.<\/p>\n

How is it?<\/h3>\n

\"Limited<\/p>\n

\"Limited<\/p>\n

I am disappointed that this cereal is so unoriginal. But I\u2019m not that disappointed, because Chocolate Lucky Charms is great, and I would even say it\u2019s better than the original. It\u2019s OK dry, but it creates chocolate milk, which makes consumption delightful.<\/p>\n

\"Limited<\/p>\n

I wonder if this cereal is an attempt to be a hot cocoa flavor, since it already has the essential elements of chocolate and marshmallow. So I heated up some milk and ate it in a mug. The marshmallows became foamy and dissolved, just like the marshmallows in a packet of Swiss Miss. It takes a lot of cereal to make the milk chocolatey, but this would be a comforting breakfast or snack when it\u2019s actually cold outside (i.e. not September).<\/p>\n

Is there anything else I need to know?<\/h3>\n

\"Limited<\/p>\n

This cereal contains my biggest yuletide pet peeve: eight-pointed snowflakes. Snowflakes only have six points, people! It\u2019s basic science!<\/p>\n

\"Limited<\/p>\n

Scientific inaccuracy aside, I cannot possibly think of anything more appropriate for someone to eat while watching The Leprechauns\u2019 Christmas Gold<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re looking for something new, this isn\u2019t what you want. But it\u2019s a fun tweak to a classic cereal.<\/p>\n
