Cheerios Oat Crunch

Reviewed by Mr Breakfast on 7/5/2018

The complete name of this cereal is Cinnamon Cheerios Oat Crunch. It consists of sweetened Multi Grain Cheerios pieces with a couple oats adhered to most of the pieces.

When you open the box, you don't get much of a smell to tease the flavor you're about to encounter. When eaten dry, you get a warm cinnamon flavor that's reminiscent of a of cinnamon streusel topping. That flavor dissipates the more you eat, leaving more of a Honey Nut Cheerios type of flavor. The pieces are enjoyably crunchy and offer promise that they'll hold up in milk.





In milk, the cereal is really crunchy for about 2 minutes. After that, the Cheerios loops begin to soften while the oat pieces (especial when multiple oats are stuck together) still offer a nice crispness, if not necessarily a crunch.

As when eaten dry, the cinnamon is very noticeable at first, but becomes less of noticeable the more you eat. Midway through a bowl, you're left with sugar-coated Cheerios flavor that is still a very decent, if not just slightly too sweet.

The milk left at the end of a bowl is quite sweet. It's cinnamon colored, but only mildly cinnamon flavored.

Overall, Cheerios Oat Crunch has a satisfying flavor and a satisfying texture. I liked it a lot, but I suspect I'd like it just as much if not more if they dropped 25% of the sugar.
