If you are the kind of person who reads this blog, you know exactly what this cereal is. It\u2019s standard Cocoa Puffs \u2014 chocolatey corn spheres \u2014 with colored marshmallow bits shaped like hearts, shooting stars, horseshoes, clover hats, moons, unicorns, and balloons.<\/p>\n

Not once when I ate Cocoa Puffs (or more commonly Coco Roos, the Malt-O-Meal knockoff) did I ever think to myself, \u201cThis would be better with marshmallows.\u201d The oat cereal of regular Lucky Charms is a little bland and needs the extra sweetness and textural contrast, but Cocoa Puffs are sweet and enjoyable on their own. Also, we already have Chocolate Lucky Charms.<\/p>\n
Luckily (ha!), the marshmallows don\u2019t have any negative effect on Cocoa Puffs (except nutrition-wise). <\/p>\n
Lucky Charms are the gold standard of cereal marbits: they aren\u2019t too crunchy, and they get softer in milk. So they aren\u2019t too distracting here. But they also don\u2019t greatly enhance the experience.<\/p>\n
I did a side-by-side comparison with Chocolate Lucky Charms, and I thought CLC was better. That might have been the texture more than anything, because the ingredients and nutrition facts are very similar.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I must say, I can\u2019t think of any cereal that leaves behind a better-tasting milk than Cocoa Puffs. It almost seems like drinking regular chocolate milk, and the leftover milk might be my favorite part of the whole bowl.\u00a0It’s even better than what Chocolate Lucky Charms leave behind.<\/p>\n
Lucky the Leprechaun\u2019s marshmallow charms are an acceptable, but unnecessary, addition to classic Cocoa Puffs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
