Frosted Mini-Wheats Little Bites - Honey Nut

Reviewed by Mr Breakfast on 1/26/2009

If you like regular Frosted Mini-Wheats Bite Size cereal, you'll probably like this cereal as well. The reason is because they taste dramatically similar.

Little Bites are about half the size as Frosted Mini-Wheats Bite Size. They have a sort of orange frosting that turns a deeper rust red in milk.

When you open the box, the fragrance of the cereal indicates that you're in for something new. The cereal smells distinctly nutty. The odor reminds me of Honey Nut Nougat candies that were popular with grandmothers in the 1970's. So, does it taste nutty and new? No.

Something happens when you add milk to this cereal. You have to concentrate to taste any trace of what you earlier recognized as a sweet, nutty odor. This cereal could be promoted with the gimmick, "Add milk and watch the frosting turn rusty and be amazed as the unique flavor disappears."

With all that said, I like Frosted Mini Wheats so I liked this new cereal. If you like Frosted Mini-Wheats and want to try them in a smaller size, give this cereal a try. It's slightly sweeter than Frosted Mini-Wheats Bite Size.

If you're looking for a new and exciting flavor, keep moving down the aisle.

As for nutrition, Little Bites have almost the exact same profile as the Bite Size cereal. Both have 6 grams of dietary fiber, 12 grams of sugar and 1 gram of fat. Little Bits have 1 less gram of protein per serving and 10 fewer calories per serving.

The price we paid: $3.49
