This shouldn&#8217;t be confused with Chocolate Toast Crunch, which is naturally flavored chocolate sweetened wheat and rice squares with a hint of cinnamon.<\/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\/2021\/01\/Cinnamon-Toast-Crunch-Chocolate-Churros-Cereal-Closeup.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Cinnamon Toast Crunch Chocolate Churros Cereal Closeup\" title=\"Cinnamon Toast Crunch Chocolate Churros Cereal Closeup.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With a description that includes the words &#8220;a hint of cinnamon,&#8221; you might think this is chocolate-forward. But it&#8217;s more of a 40-60 split between the chocolate and cinnamon. With most spoonfuls, I taste the warm spice more than the cocoa. While I wish there was a stronger chocolate punch, this is an excellent and tasty follow-up to the original Cinnamon Toast Crunch Churros Cereal.<\/p>\n<p>However, there&#8217;s something about the churros shape that makes them less satisfying than Chocolate Toast Crunch&#8217;s square pieces, which I also thought with the regular cinnamon version. Maybe it&#8217;s surface area? Or perhaps it&#8217;s the way the nooks and crannies capture milk? I dunno.<\/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\/2021\/01\/Cinnamon-Toast-Crunch-Chocolate-Churros-Cereal-Spoon.jpeg?resize=600%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Cinnamon Toast Crunch Chocolate Churros Cereal Spoon\" title=\"Cinnamon Toast Crunch Chocolate Churros Cereal Spoon.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While I prefer the original square-shaped Chocolate Toast Crunch a smidge, the churro shape helps maintain a crunchiness level in milk that the squares can only dream of. Speaking of milk, if you happen to leave the cereal in it for a decent amount of time, the aftermilk is ex-cinna-llent.<\/p>\n<p>I know what some of you are thinking, &#8220;So this is pretty much Chocolate Toast Crunch, but in tiny churro form?&#8221; Pretty much. I know. Kind of a letdown, but I&#8217;m not disappointed filling a bowl with it because it&#8217;s a solid cereal.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you want to make it somewhat interesting, you could pretend to live in an alternate General Mills universe where square Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Chocolate Toast Crunch don&#8217;t exist, but Cinnamon Toast Crunch Churros and Cinnamon Toast Crunch Chocolate Churros do. Also, in this alternate General Mills universe, the oat pieces are the Lucky Charms and Trix is a brand of rabbit food.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> More than anyone should pay on eBay<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> 19.7 oz box<br \/>\n<strong>Purchased at:<\/strong> eBay<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 8 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (1 cup w\/o milk) 170 calories, 5 grams of fat, 0.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 1 gram of polyunsaturated fat, 2.5 grams of monounsaturated fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 230 milligrams of sodium, 31 grams of carbohydrates, 3 grams of fiber, 10 grams of sugar (including 10 grams of added sugar), and 3 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Churros have provided me with many memories.
