\"Kellogg<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a hot minute since I\u2019ve had a waffle-flavored cereal.<\/p>\n

Ok, it\u2019s actually been a couple lukewarm-at-best decades.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t count French Toast Crunch, which had a similar flavor profile, I\u2019m positive I haven\u2019t had a waffle cereal since the very first iteration of Waffle Crisp way back in 1996, aka \u201cthe Before Times.\u201d<\/p>\n

While I\u2019ve wanted to give Eggo Cereals (and that insane Post Chicken & Waffles abomination<\/a>) a try, I never got around to it. When I heard Kellogg was releasing a chocolate version, I had to put an end to my 24-year waffle cereal drought.<\/p>\n

\"Kellogg<\/p>\n

I approached Chocolate Eggo Waffle Cereal with the hopes it would maybe blend the promised chocolate with something like a maple syrup accent. I like most chocolate cereals enough, but they usually leave me feeling like I just had another bowl of Cocoa Puffs. I think a good chocolate cereal needs a co-star.<\/p>\n

So, does this have a co-star in the form of maple?<\/p>\n

No. No, it really doesn\u2019t. This is pretty much just another Cocoa Puffs clone.<\/p>\n

Which isn\u2019t to say it\u2019s bad. I\u2019m not quite cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs, but it\u2019s still a classic breakfast cereal. I\u2019m just bummed to say these really don\u2019t break the waffled mold.<\/p>\n

They exist in a taste range between Count Chocula\u2019s cereal pieces and Cocoa Puffs. It\u2019s not a super wide range, but there\u2019s just slightly enough to separate each chocolate cereal from the other.<\/p>\n

\"Kellogg<\/p>\n

The fun little waffle-shaped pieces are lightly dusted with a sugary coating that I kept trying to convince myself was maple, because it should be<\/span>. I just don\u2019t think it is.<\/p>\n

I want to tell you they taste like genuine waffles, but when was the last time you even had a chocolate waffle? Chocolate chips, maybe, but straight chocolate? Even if these attempted to \u201ctaste\u201d like a waffle, the chocolate was always gonna overpower that.<\/p>\n

I will say the texture was perfect, but that\u2019s probably because of it being fresh on shelves. Despite having a similar shape to Honeycomb, they aren\u2019t quite as soft, but they also aren\u2019t as pebbly as Cocoa Puffs can be. They maintained a nice outer ring of crunch as the center developed a manageable sog.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a sweet chocolate milk afterburn as you\u2019d expect, and they smell like brownie batter, so there are still plenty of positives. They also make a nice dry snack.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m still just mildly baffled about the choice to not include a maple-like flavor.<\/p>\n

\"Kellogg<\/p>\n

How many more straight chocolate cereals do we really need? There are already the tried-and-true classics, and we basically get a new one every couple of months. At least these aren\u2019t as dreadful as the Hershey Kisses cereal<\/a> I picked up a few months back. I thought those were pure trash.<\/p>\n

I say pick these up if they\u2019re on sale. Otherwise, I think they\u2019re safe to \u201cLeggo.\u201d They\u2019re good, but nothing revolutionary.<\/p>\n
