Normally I'd recommend all Special K cereal, but this is not the best one I've had. The flakes are still delicious and great with milk... but the chocolate is the downside of this product, ironically. The chocolate got stuck in the roof of my mouth and my teeth when I was eating it... not a great experience. I should have just gotten the regular one.
Normally I eat the Special K with strawberries but I decided to give this one a whirl. Well, I found the chocolate to be really kind of blah. And when I added milk it still didn't really improve the taste for me. Think I will stick with the Special K with Strawberries in the future.
I wasn't impressed. The chocolate was too bland and didn't really fit with the cereal and cold milk. I could see it being good as a part of a dry trail mix, though. I'll stick to the Red Berries or almond Special K, but I probably wouldn't buy the chocolate one again.
I didn't think that this cereal was all that good. The chocolate sounded like a good idea, but it really didn't go with the flakes. And then you add milk, and it doesn't work at all.
I was on a Chocolatey Delight kick for a while, but it was more like when you pretend you love Hershey because you can't afford Lindt. It's good enough, but I doubt anyone would stick to this longterm. The chocolate is the same quality as your average chocolate chip and the crispies have that salty tinge (that most cereals do) which just clashes. I personally much prefer Special K Red Berries (w/ dried strawberries).
Still, for the price point and that late-night snack attack, it does the trick without killing your diet.
I don't eat cereal, but I love chocolate. I bought this on a whim one day to add to my office snack stash. Really good snack. I love that you get more than few chocolatey surprises in every handful! Just a warning though: this is pretty addictive.
I don't know about having chocolate for breakfast but I have to say that eating this cereal dry as a snack has become a habit of mine. If it sweet but not too sweet and in every handful there are little bits of yummy chocolate in it. I definitely recommend this as a snack as opposed to chips or full chocolate bars!
I agree with the other reviewers on this one. I have never been a big breakfast person, but now I can't wait to eat my Special K. It's an adventure to find the chocolate bits...and my four year old son loves to help me pick them out and steals them from me.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this cereal. It's terrific as a snack in your hand...especially if you are having a craving for sweets but it also tastes great with Milk. I really hope this product doesn't disappear off the shelves. I've already started stocking up!
