Have you heard about it yet? Cheerios have gone chocolate and I can tell you that they are yummy!
Chocolate Cheerios is low in fat, heart healthy*, has 100 calories per serving, 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 that is sure to make you smile!
Thanks to My Blog Spark a group I am so grateful to be part of, I was able to try Chocolate Cheerios for myself. My daughter and I are chocolate lovers and this was right up our alley.
I was expecting to taste that fake chocolate taste you get with some chocolate cereal but this didn't have it.
