In the past year, I\u2019ve enjoyed its takes on <a href=https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2017\/12\/13\/review-limited-edition-banana-nut-cheerios><\/a>banana, peach, cinnamon, and peanut butter, so I have little doubt about this one.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a nice waft of maple scent when you open the box, but the cereal pieces themselves aren\u2019t flashy. They look like a standard bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios.<\/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\/09\/Maple-Cheerios-Cereal-2.jpg?resize=550%2C550&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Maple Cheerios Cereal 2\" title=\"Maple Cheerios Cereal 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"550\" height=\"550\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I ate a quick handful of dry Maple Cheerios before pouring in the milk to get a true idea of the taste. The amount of flavor is on par with the aforementioned flavors you\u2019ve probably already had. Cheerios never really overpower you with too much sweetness. I enjoy that because it gives me a sense that I\u2019m eating healthy. Well, healthier.<\/p>\n<p>After I added milk, the cereal lost some of its luster. Honestly, they kinda tasted like Honey Nut Cheerios, which is an all-time classic cereal, but I imagine that news may be disappointing to some. Don\u2019t be too bummed, as there\u2019s still a maple finish, so it\u2019s not exactly like Honey Nut.<\/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\/09\/Maple-Cheerios-Cereal-3.jpg?resize=450%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Maple Cheerios Cereal 3\" title=\"Maple Cheerios Cereal 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One other thing I noticed was that despite not being \u201cwaffle\u201d flavored, there\u2019s almost a buttery essence as they sog in the milk. It was really nice. If you\u2019re expecting these to be the new \u201cWaffle Crisp\u201d or \u201cFrench Toast Crunch,\u201d that\u2019s not what you\u2019re gonna get, but I will say this is like a snooty grownup version of those confectionary classics.<\/p>\n<p>While there isn\u2019t a maple explosion, fans of Honey Nut Cheerios should find this a satisfying bowl of cereal. The leftover milk was pleasantly maple flavored and somehow a lot sweeter than the cereal itself. It was a little too sweet for me if I had to find fault.<\/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\/09\/Maple-Cheerios-Cereal-4.jpg?resize=450%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Maple Cheerios Cereal 4\" title=\"Maple Cheerios Cereal 4.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can eat these plain or in milk, and you\u2019ll more than likely enjoy them either way. You can also do what I do and cover a banana in peanut butter, then sprinkle Cheerios on top\u2122. I find this to be a great pre-gym snack. I actually sold the recipe to Blue Apron. I\u2019m pretty sure Food and Wine Magazine named it the \u201cBest New Recipe\u201d of 2014.<\/p>\n<p>So yeah, Maple Cheerios is another great flavor in its lineup. I hope it keeps the product line rolling. Gimmie some coconut Cheerios. How about something crazy like pineapple? How about going nuts and combining them for a Pina Colada type flavor? I\u2019m excited to see what\u2019s next.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 3\/4 cup \u2013 110 calories, 1.5 grams of fat, 0 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 125 milligrams of sodium, 120 milligrams of potassium, 22 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 9 grams of sugar, and 2 grams of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b> $2.50<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 10.8 oz. box<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Wegmans<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 8 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> Another winning flavor for Cheerios.
