From: Kellogg's
Introduced in 2002


This cereal was described on the box as a "rich chocolatey graham cereal with marshmallows". The marshmallows were brown and white, and intended to look like chocolate had been swirled into them. The very first cereal box urged potential buyers to "bring the S'mores experience home to your breakfast table!"

At the height of production, thousands of pounds of chocolate cream were used each day to make Kellogg's Smorz - that's about as much as 7 elephants weigh. Millions of marshmallows were used during s single day's production - that's more than enough to fill 3 classrooms!





In 2002, the first 9 ingredients listed on the nutrition panel were corn flour, marshmallow bits, sugar, chocolate coating, whole oat flour, fructose, graham flour, wheat flour and high fructose corn syrup.





A 2004 one-sheet advertisement created to promote word-of-mouth for Smorz cereal described how the cereal was made:

1. Grains like corn, oats, wheat, and graham are mixed with salt sugar and vitamins.

2. The mixture is cooked until it becomes doughy.

3. The cereal is shaped into small squares then baked - like cookies!

4. A very important person tastes the cereal to make sure it tastes good.

5. A shower of flavors - marshmallow and graham - rain down on the cereal. Even vitamins are added to the shower.

6. The cereal is dried off then tested again - to make sure the flavors are right on.

7. The cereal gets coated in chocolate and is lightly dusted with sugar to make it taste even better.

8. The cereal is tested AGAIN (wouldn't you like that job?) to make sure it's good enough for you and your friends.

9. Before it's packaged, marbits - tiny marshmallows with dark swirls - are added to make it extra yummy!





Smorz Cereal was discontinued in 2013.

It was reintroduced in 2015. Partially hydrogenated soybean and cottonseed oils were removed from the recipe. Unfortunately, the cool chocolate swirls in the original marshmallows were gone too. Most reports say the cereal tastes very close to the original version.
