But here we are with my blood moon buy, Peanut Butter Chex Cereal, a flavor variety I thought General Mills already checked off, I mean, Chex-ed off.<\/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\/2019\/06\/Peanut-Butter-Chex-Cereal-Closeup.jpg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Peanut Butter Chex Cereal Closeup\" title=\"Peanut Butter Chex Cereal Closeup.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Its flavor isn&#8217;t close to being as bold as last year&#8217;s Nutter Butter Cereal, but it does smell like a peanut butter cookie. When eaten dry, it has a surprisingly striking peanut butter taste with a little saltiness, which is probably thanks to the fact there&#8217;s real peanut butter in it. But let me set your expectations by saying to think of it as a diet Nutter Butter Cereal. Also, some of the flavor is lost when eaten with milk, but not enough to make my taste buds do a double take and think they&#8217;re eating plain Corn Chex.<\/p>\n<p>Like with most Chex cereal, it shouldn&#8217;t wade in milk for too long or else the soggies will get to it. But even if you do, don&#8217;t assume the milk will turn all peanut buttery. It doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>Post rocked my world with its Nutter Butter Cereal. I wrote in my review, &#8220;it&#8217;s the best peanut butter cereal I&#8217;ve ever had.&#8221; I also have an equally bold statement to say about Peanut Butter Chex \u2014 it&#8217;s the only Chex Cereal flavor I could see myself eating in a bowl with milk on a regular basis. <\/p>\n<p><em>Mic drop.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCLOSURE:<\/strong> General Mills sent me a free sample to review (Thanks, Big G!).
