Am I losing my mind? Kellogg\u2019s Extra Crispy Clusters are just granola in a box, right? \u201cCrispy Clusters\u201d are just granola clusters, right? Nothing about them makes them special than Nature Valley or KIND granola, right? With these definitely being granola, I can\u2019t help but want to call them Extranola. But what makes them \u201cextra\u201d over other granola, I could not tell you despite eating several servings of both varieties available \u2014 Almond and Cinnamon.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
While both flavors are crispy, which I\u2019ll write more about in a moment, only the Cinnamon one slid out of the bag in cluster form. But the Almond one was mostly a bunch of loose granola in the bag as if it got beaten up by boxes of Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds as retaliation for stepping on their oat cluster cereal turf. <\/p>\n

But back to their crispiness\u2026<\/p>\n
The neglect I gave these while sitting in milk would make any Tamagotchi die, but they maintained their crispiness despite that. I left them to soak while I scrolled through cleaning Instagram Reels. Still crispy. I let them sit in 2% while I collected and counted all the micro USB cables I\u2019ve accumulated over the past decade. Still crispy. But I\u2019m pretty sure giving any granola that same lack of attention while in dairy would have the same result, so it really isn\u2019t that impressive. <\/p>\n
If I had to choose between the two Kellogg\u2019s Extra flavors, I\u2019d give the nod to the Cinnamon one. While it tastes like any cinnamon-flavored granola, it\u2019s definitely more flavorful than the other one. Oddly, I also found that the warm spice has more flavor in milk than when eaten dry. As for the Almond variety, the caramelized sugar coating provides a noticeable and pleasant sweetness, and the almonds obviously add a nuttiness. However, as I ate it, it reminded me of whatever the standard Nature Valley granola flavor is. It\u2019s fine and something I would not say no to, but it won\u2019t make my taste buds do a happy dance.<\/p>\n
The only \u201cextra\u201d thing I can think of about Kellogg\u2019s Extra is its price, which is extra high compared to other cereals on the shelf. I paid $6.99 for each box, which was the sale price. The regular price was $13.99. But even at the sale price, I can\u2019t see myself picking up another box of what is basically granola with nothing other than the price being extra about it.<\/p>\n
