\"\"<\/p>\n

Are you a fan of rap music and\/or the classic recipe book \u201cFrom Crook to Cook\u201d? Do you want your breakfast cereal to serve a charitable mission? Or are you just tired of seeing toucans and wacky anthropomorphic amalgamations of various food products have all the mascot fun? If you\u2019ve answered yes to any of those questions, you might want to check out the three new flavors of Snoop Cereal (and if you\u2019ve answered yes to all of them, wow, you have really specific tastes).<\/p>\n

As the name suggests, these cereals and the colorful animal characters that tout them were indeed created by Snoop Dogg (and Master P, in a collaboration between their Broadus Foods brand and Post), and they even have lyrics on the boxes to match. But what\u2019s more interesting is that proceeds from each purchase are donated to charities that help homeless families and fight food insecurity.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

How are they, though? Well\u2026 let\u2019s just say that if you\u2019ve ever consumed a sugary cereal before, my findings probably won\u2019t surprise you\u2026<\/p>\n

Fruity Hoopz with Marshmallows<\/h3>\n

At first glance, this \u201csweetened multigrain cereal\u201d looks just like Froot Loops. On second and third and fourth glance, it does too\u2026 so, okay, you\u2019ll probably be familiar with what you\u2019re getting into. I thought maybe the loops looked a bit thicker than I expected, but that didn\u2019t impact the eating experience much. You\u2019ll smell them before you taste them, a fruity, cloying perfume that perfectly foreshadows the sugar-glazed, slightly floral burst of crunchy sweetness to come.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The most \u201cunique\u201d element here (if it can even be called that) would be the marbits, of which I was lucky to find about one per generous spoonful, but at the risk of sounding like a broken record, they are also not super revolutionary. Again, they seemed to me a bit larger than what other cereals like Lucky Charms provide, but they have that same eminently chompable texture, soft yet with an audible crack after you bite down and before they melt pleasantly and cotton-candy-ishly in your mouth. I prefer my cereal with milk and found that these left the milk with a delightful syrupy sweet flavor, but after intending to eat just a few dry pieces, I (perhaps predictably) had a lot of trouble stopping, so you can\u2019t go wrong either way.<\/p>\n

Cinnamon Toasteez<\/h3>\n

This may be obvious just from the box, but I couldn\u2019t find a huge difference between this \u201csweetened crispy wheat and rice cereal\u201d and Cinnamon Toast Crunch, both appearance-wise and flavor-wise. A few of the pieces I had were extra cinnamon-studded, with stripes closer to black than brown and a slightly more potent taste, but these are mostly just sweet with a vague air of cinnamon-y-ness. I think the OG Cinnamon Toast Crunch tastes a bit more of actual cinnamon and therefore is a bit better, but unless you\u2019re particularly picky, this should definitely make a more-than-serviceable substitute.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also neat that, ranging as they do from lightly wavy to practically bent in two, the pieces aren\u2019t perfectly square, giving them extra texture and dimension, and some are studded with air bubbles that contrast the general brittleness well. Their flat shape also allows a cool crispiness when sampled straight from the box, though I found these just as appealing when they were soggy with milk. But strangely, while the cinnamon dust became very visible in the milk that collected at the bottom of my bowl, it didn\u2019t seem to affect its flavor whatsoever, so that was a bit of a bummer.<\/p>\n

Frosted Drizzlers<\/h3>\n

This \u201csweetened, crunchy, frosted whole grain wheat cereal\u201d seemed the most novel to me, but that\u2019s probably just because I don\u2019t eat a ton of its doppelganger, Frosted Mini Wheats. (And probably also because, I\u2019ll confess, when I purchased them, my brain only really registered the word \u201cFrosted,\u201d so I expected something\u2026 flakier.) Like the Hoopz, these pieces seemed unusually but not unpleasantly jumbo-sized; I couldn\u2019t tell if they were longer than your typical pillow of shredded wheat cereal, but they certainly seemed thicker. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is the cereal where I felt milk made the biggest difference for the better. Despite a generous dusting of sugar, the strong wheat flavor and bristly texture pretty thoroughly outweighed any hints of sweetness when eaten dry, but they tasted noticeably nicer when soaked in milk. This flavor was decent, but something about eating an easily countable number of ginormous pieces instead of the seemingly infinite number of tiny pieces that other cereals tend to offer just feels less fun. Plus, I couldn\u2019t quite shake the feeling that I was chewing on a bunch of tiny wicker baskets. Oh, and these produced an even more flavorless milk than the Cinnamon Toasteez.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These cereals are tasty, if unlikely to be anything you haven\u2019t seen or snacked on before. You won\u2019t miss much if you don\u2019t try them, but hey, knowing that your sugar rush comes with a side of helping those in need is pretty sweet.<\/p>\n
