With its mild flavor and a texture that will make you doubt your choice of a spoon, try a straw, then realize that\u2019s somehow even worse than the spoon, it almost seems intentionally ambiguous. So, when I saw someone tried to capture its essence in a cereal, I thought I may finally have some answers.<\/p>\n<p>Kellogg\u2019s Wendy\u2019s Frosty Chocolatey Cereal is described on the box as a \u201cchocolate flavored multi-grain cereal with marshmallows.\u201d Hmm, none of Dave Thomas\u2019 secrets revealed there. I opened it up and gave the cereal a whiff. It smelled like a packet of instant hot chocolate, but there was something indescribably Frosty-like about it. There\u2019s that ambiguousness again.<\/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\/12\/wenfrostcereal2.jpeg?resize=600%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kellogg s Wendy s Frosty Chocolatey Cereal Dry\" title=\"wenfrostcereal2.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I needed to crack this code, so it was time to try each component separately without milk. The cereal had a pleasant cocoa taste, but it was very light on the corn-forward puff. The marshmallow was where things started to get interesting. A bit more cocoa, but notably some vanilla and\u2026 some malty goodness? My mind began to race. Have Frostys been malted this whole time?! A quick check of the ingredients on the Wendy\u2019s website showed no mention of malt. Wait, there was no malt in the marshmallow ingredients, either. What the heck was going on?<\/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\/12\/wenfrostcereal3.jpeg?resize=600%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kellogg s Wendy s Frosty Chocolatey Cereal Milk\" title=\"wenfrostcereal3.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I poured a bowl, added some whole milk, and took a bite. It was exactly what you want from a chocolate cereal but was lacking in Frostyness. I finished the bowl and I took a sip of the leftover milk. I\u2019ll be darned, the milk tasted like a Frosty! How? The marshmallows! I investigated the bag of remaining cereal and noticed many of the little mallows had fallen to the bottom, not making it into my bowl.<\/p>\n<p>I tried again. Marshmallow by marshmallow, I made a more evenly distributed serving (the first time I\u2019ve ever eaten what could be called a balanced breakfast) and followed the box\u2019s advice I had previously ignored. I froze the bowl of cereal for five minutes and ate it with mittens. Well, gloves, because mittens are the worst. Sure enough, it started to taste a little like a Frosty!<\/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\/12\/wenfrostcereal4.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kellogg s Wendy s Frosty Chocolatey Cereal Mittens\" title=\"wenfrostcereal4.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Despite the exciting development, it didn\u2019t taste enough like a Frosty and I was left with more questions than answers. If you\u2019re less concerned about such things, it was a somewhat basic but extremely eatable cereal. Chocolatey, a little vanilla-y, a perfectly crunchy yet puffy textured cereal, and just the right amount of sweetness from the marshmallows.<\/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\/12\/wenfrostcereal5.jpeg?resize=600%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kellogg s Wendy s Frosty Chocolatey Cereal Box Back\" title=\"wenfrostcereal5.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re more concerned about such things, well, I found that a quick internet search will give you the answers to your Frosty questions.
