Your taste buds will be delighted with new Chocolate Cheerios-with a perfect balance of whole grain goodness and a delicious touch of chocolate taste in every bite.

I was sent a box of the Chocolate Cheerios to try.. one word YUM-O!!


Did you know.....

Chocolate Cheerios is low in fat, heart healthy*, has 100 calories per serving, it contains at least 8 grams of whole grain per serving (at least 48 grams recommended daily), and is a good source of calcium and vitamin D. Made with real cocoa, Chocolate Cheerios can help your family start the day off right with a delicious and nutritious breakfast.

I felt like I was a kid again.. Chocolate for breakfast, I couldn't believe it!!!
It was AWESOME!!

I love to snack through out the day and especially in the evening when I get that Chocolate craving... IT get's the "JOB DONE"!!!

As some of you know I work at an Aftercare program at our school so I thought that I would see what the kids had to say about the NEW Chocolate Cheerios..

Maggie says: It's REALLY Chocolaty and GOOD! It also is healthy if it's Cheerios.

Jamie: It is BUSTING with Chocolate flavor!

Gabby: It's got a GREAT Chocolate flavor and it's a Healthy snack.
