In my home, cereal is not just a breakfast food…it’s a way of life. My husband can easily eat 8 bowls of cereal a day, my daughter loves to start her morning with one big bowl, and I love to snack on cereal at least once a day. Our favorite cereal? Honey Bunches of Oats, hands down. Now, there’s a new flavor- Honey Bunches of Oats CHOCOLATE.
This has been a great addition to our cereal collection because it’s fun and it’s so chocolatey! It fully satisfies those chocolate cravings we all have from time to time. Every spoonful is packed with that crunch we’ve come to expect from Honey Bunches of Oats and now, the addition of real cocoa, packs it with chocolate goodness….mmmm.
Each of us has our favorite way of eating it too. My daughter loves having it as a snack at school, so we fill a sandwich bag and she eats it dry at her snack break. My husband loves it swimming in milk…and drinking the chocolate milk after the cereal is gone.
I also love a bowl full as a night snack but I also love to make delicious snacks with it. One such recipe I found is for Chocolate-Coconut Macaroons. Easy to make and yet another way to experience everything that Honey Bunches of Oats Chocolate can offer. Check it out below!
