New Product Review:

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal

Reviewed by Mr Breakfast on 1/17/2012

Pretty good stuff. The chocolate chip pieces don't make a very big visual impact (they look like a few random specks), but they do effect the overall flavor quite a bit.

To get the most out of this product, let the cooked oatmeal rest a few seconds and then stir it up. The chocolate distributes and those tiny specks turn into melted streaks of chocolate giving the product a more uniform flavor, while still providing the surprise of a few bites with more chocolate.

This oatmeal tastes more chocolatey than sugary, but be aware that it has 8 grams of sugar per serving. If that's a concern, there are several instant oatmeal varieties available with less then 3 grams of sugar and much more fiber.

Personally, I found 1/3 cup water per packet (as the directions state) made the oatmeal a little too soupy. I'd recommend closer to 1/4 cup.
