Chocolate Cheerios Review & Giveaway

Posted on February 2, 2010 by JMarsden| 55 Comments

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.

      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.

      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!

      I like the Multigrain Cheerios. I’ve never tried the Berry Burst Cherrios…but am going to look for them next time I shop. Can’t wait to try the Chocolate. Thanks for the review and giveaway!

    28. Glenda Embree | February 4, 2010 at 10:21 AM |

      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!

    34. Peggy Gorman | February 4, 2010 at 4:35 AM |

      I love the Banana Cheerios! So good but then so are all Cheerios! Thanks for the chance

      It would definitely be the chocolate cheerios. I love chocolate!

    49. Amanda McCullah | February 2, 2010 at 5:58 PM |

      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!

    50. Lisa K | February 2, 2010 at 1:37 PM |

      These cheerios look really good!
      I would definitely like to try them and will enter this contest.
      The parfait treats will be the first recipe I try if I am lucky enought to win!
