Hershey's Cookies 'n Creme Cereal Review and Giveaway




Who doesn't love the taste of Cookies 'n Creme? Ice cream, cake and all sorts of other treats are Cookies 'n Creme flavored and I love them all! I never would have thought of them for breakfast though, but the folks over at General Mills sure did- and let me tell you, it's some really great stuff!




Hershey's Cookies 'n Creme cereal tastes great and my kids loved it (who wouldn't??). I love the fact that the cereal is made from 100% whole grains and has 14 grams of whole grains per serving. I mean, if you're going to eat cereal, at least it is getting a little nutrition in there, right? It really does have a great taste and my girls were really excited to eat it. As most of you know, cereal is not something that my girls eat on a very regular basis, so this was a really fun treat for them. Everything in moderation, even Cookies 'n Creme breakfast cereal :)

This is a new flavor for General Mills and I think it's a great flavor. I really liked having some for breakfast and I thought it was nicely sweet without being overpowering, which I was afraid of. The cereal was crunchy and had a definite Cookies 'n Creme flavor- a good thing since I was skeptical of how that flavor would play out in a cereal. All in all, it was a nice treat and my family and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

And now, I want to show you the gift pack General Mills sent me through My Blog Spark- it's amazing!


This is what I found in my gift pack:

  • 1 Box Hershey's Cookies 'n Creme Cereal
  • Cereal Storage/Dispensing Container
  • 2 Cereal To-Go Containers
Pretty nifty stuff, eh?
