New Product Review:

Peanut Butter Multi Grain Cheerios

Reviewed by Mr Breakfast on 1/30/2012

In January of 2012, General Mills introduced two new varieties of Cheerios - a lame one and a good one. This is the good one. (For the other, see Dulce De Leche Cheerios.)

The peanut butter flavor is initially bold and interesting. It's a toastier peanut butter taste (think of a light spread of peanut butter on whole wheat toast). That flavor becomes less noticeable the more you eat. By the end of a bowl, the flavor is more like sweetened original Cheerios - which is fine in itself.

If you want to really, really nit-pic, I'll admit to just the slightest bitterness in this cereal, especially in the initial spoonful (like when you add a tinge too much baking powder to a baked good). However, I think most people concentrate on the fun of the flavor, rather than on the shortcomings.

If you like peanut butter cereals, you're probably going to like this new cereal. Honey Nut Cheerios still dominates as the most interesting flavor of Cheerios, but this new one is definitely worth a try.
