Although I typically associate Malt-O-Meal as being a purveyor of \u201chot cereal\u201d (porridge? runny oatmeal? gruel?), it makes over THIRTY varieties of the cold stuff, and the latter actually equates to 75% of its sales. So I guess the joke is on me. While most of its offerings mimic those of its biggest competitors \u2014 Kellogg\u2019s and General Mills \u2014 its newest flavor is a bit of an original: Maple Bacon Donut.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s decent, but I don\u2019t know that \u201cmaple bacon donut\u201d is what I get from it. Mostly, it tastes like an extra sugary Honey Nut Cheerios with a liberal dash of artificial smoke and a bit of salt. And that description may sound kind of awful, but I assure you that the actual result is not. Every once in a while I got a little something maple-like, but mostly, it was \u201cgeneral sweetness.\u201d Again, with a little smoke. And some saltiness.<\/p>\n
Like most Malt-O-Meal cereals, this variety comes in a resealable bag, and the bag is the size of a pillow. This is a really great thing if you like the Malt-O-Meal you purchased; if you weren\u2019t a fan, however, congrats to your children on the giant bag of cereal they\u2019ll inherit upon your passing.<\/p>\n
While I appreciated this new and unusual flavor, I\u2019d be reluctant to buy again. It was only slightly better than okay, and there\u2019s just SO much of it. As it is, I\u2019ll probably already be passing this bag down to the next generation. (Which I mean, kind of a steal for less than $6.)<\/p>\n
