As Post continues its string of limited edition products, I am continuing my sweetened cereal spree.<\/p>\n
After chocolate cake<\/a> and fruity waffle<\/a>-inspired cereals, Post is now gifting my morning sweet tooth with Post Limited Edition Honey Bunches of Oats Salted Caramel. The cereal adds salted caramel flavor to the line’s classic mix of crispy, light-as-air-flakes and crunchy clusters.<\/p>\n The cereal smells strongly of caramel, but the taste is less consistent. Some flakes taste pretty plain. Others have a uniform caramel flavor, buttery and lightly sweet, reminiscent of kettle corn. Every fifth or sixth spoonful, a much sweeter piece with a sharp hit of salt stands out.<\/p>\n The inconsistency is both a strength and a weakness. On one crumb-covered hand, the cereal is balanced\u2014sweet, but never candy-sweet\u2014with interesting, varied bites that are both appropriate for breakfast and highly snackable. Conversely, the flavor can be underwhelming. A little extra indulgence (glazed almonds or caramel-flavored yogurt drops, perhaps?) would have added a hint more excitement.<\/p>\n Most of the salted caramel flavor seems to be concentrated in the flakes, but the oats provide a wonderful crunch with a toasty, molasses-tinged sweetness. However, clusters of them are hard to come by. Rifling through the bag, I found mostly loose oats. This was a bummer because I am the type of person who will feel weirdly proud and satisfied when I excavate an especially large chunk of cookie dough from a pint of ice cream. (Read: I will take small thrills where I can find them. Also, I like cookie dough.) If you are the same, do not expect to replicate that sensation with this product.<\/p>\n In milk, the flakes stay surprisingly crisp despite their lightness. The cereal also flavors the milk nicely, leaving a smooth, honeyed sweetness behind. Move over, Cinnamilk\u2014it’s Honeybunchamilk’s time to shine.<\/p>\n Overall, Post Limited Edition Honey Bunches of Oats Salted Caramel teeters on the boundary between subtle and forgettable. Its refreshingly restrained level of sweetness and interesting pops of salt are highlights, but more flavor or texture would add interest. It’s a solid offering from the brand, but it will probably not replace your favorite flavor. My rating lingers between 6 and 7, but I’m rounding up in hopes that Post will trademark Honeybunchamilk and give me a cut of the profits.<\/p>\n Purchased Price:<\/strong> $4.99 As Post continues its string of limited edition products, I am continuing my sweetened cereal spree.
