Chocolate Cheerios Review & Giveaway

I have loved eating Cheerios for quite some time.  (Actually it has been since I was a child.)  Recently I was lucky enough to be chosen to try out the new Chocolate Cheerios.  I had my wife, and daughter try them, and they loved them.  We loved eating the Honey Nut Cheerios originally, and now they have something else that we will eat because they have added Real Cocoa, and we love chocolate.

These Cheerios are so good that I will definitelly recommend them to anyone that eats cereal, and is willing to try out something new.

I was sent a package with the same things that are in the giveaway so as to review the product, and another package for a contest to run by Cheerios through MyBlogSpark. I was not paid any monetary compensation for this review. This post is my opinion and should be taken as just that. Having received samples has no impact on our personal use, experience, or like for any product.

The prize package consists of the following items:

      I LOVE the Strawberry yogurt cheerios. I studied theese cheerios for about 5 minutes at the store the other day, I ended up putting them back and moving on. I have regretted it all week. I love chocolate and I love cheerios…..put them together and what do you get?? Perfection!

      I can’t believe how many varieties they have, now. I still love the multi-grain Cheerios the best. It would be fun to try the chocolate, though!

      My feelings on CHEERIOS (all of them!) <3

      C is Crunchy (especially in cold milk…so GOOD!)
      H is for Honey, Oh so HEALTHY!
      E is for Energy, Nothing better than a bowl in the morning to get you moving
      E is for Entertaining, admit it, we've all played with our little O's
      R is for rebellious, some always manage to escape my bowl!
      I is for Interesting, each spoonful tastes even better!
      O is for Outrageous, so many different flavors, each one just gets better!

      Would LOVE to try these little chocolate devils!

      Every member of my family eats and enjoys Cheerios. My 80-year-old mother eats Cheerios for the health benefits; and my kids and husband eat Cheerios because they like the taste. My favorite is Chocolate.
