I’ll admit that, aside from during early childhood, Cocoa Puffs has never really been my favorite chocolate cereal.
This is a textural plus, because it means less cratered corniness to bore nor bore into your palate.īut sadly, the satisfaction stops there. Let’s get the good out of the way: like Cookie Crisp, these Cocoa Puffs seem crunchier than their predecessors, somewhat smaller and more compact. I have no idea how General Mills managed to release a Cocoa Puffs cereal solely dedicated to adding more chocolate taste, and somehow make it less chocolatey. Mix in Cookie Crisp to make Cocoa Puffs salvageable.
*Editor’s correction: do not mix Cocoa Puffs to make Cookie Crisp better. Ultimate Taste Comeback Cocoa Puffs Review The Bottom Line: 5.5 micro-dosing wolves out of 10 Milk helps even things out, too, but it’d be easier to just mix the stuff with Cocoa Puffs* to get the chocolate element Cookie Crisp needs. If you do buy this stuff, you probably won’t hate it, but it could’ve been so much better. If there’s one positive here, it’s that More Chocolate Chip Coooookie Taste Cookie Crisp seems crunchier than the mealy exoskeletons of its past self. I wish General Mills gave us more morsels for our money, as the chocolate chips here simply can’t compete and only really show up for the first moment of each bite.īut hey, with this little cocoa content, maybe Chip the Wolf could sink his canines into this Cookie Crisp without poisoning himself. Don’t get me wrong, buttery vanilla isn’t bad, but as I’ve expressed in countless birthday cake cereal reviews, it gets old after a while. Which is on all Cookie Crisp, but I think General Mills really cranked their glazer beam up to 11 for this edition. Now, when I say “cookie flavor,” I mainly mean a buttery vanilla sheen, with a touch of brown sugar. But it does have a fair deal more cookie flavor, to the point where it nearly obfuscates whatever chocolate flavor remains. This new–old Cookie Crisp does not have more chocolate chip flavor.

UTC Cookie Crisp’s box makes a poorly worded promise: “More Chocolate Chip Coooookie Taste!” Aside from irking me, the type of person who needs to set the TV volume to an even number, with five Os, the claim simply isn’t entirely true.
Well that, and we’ve already been slightly disappointed by Retro Recipe Golden Grahams, as well as unimpressed that Ultimate Taste Comeback Trix didn’t actually change anything (further evidenced by the fact that when General Mills sent me all four cereals to sample, they included old Trix box art rather than the fresh, big rabbit-headed version seen in Ultimate Taste Comeback graphics).Įnough exposition! Let’s expose these Puffs and Cookies for what they really are… Ultimate Taste Comeback Cookie Crisp Review I want to know what it tastes like when a cereal brand focuses on refining chocolate and chocolatey flavor alone, which is why General Mills’ Ultimate Taste Comeback-particularly the cocoa’d duo of the four-have high expectations to live up to. Usually things just get fudgier, or tweaked with a supplementary flavor enhancement. Sure, texture aside, you could probably tell the tastes of Cocoa Puffs & Pebbles apart, yet daring revolutions in chocolate cereal technology are rare. Chocolatey & Fruity nevertheless encapsulate the vast majority of non-Honey Nut cereals-we’ll call that one Giratina.īut while “Fruity” is a very malleable term, representing every cornucopious blend from Trix to Froot Loops, “Chocolaty” deals primarily in shades of subtlety. Or to be more secular, the Dialga & Palkia. Chocolatey & Fruity: the Adam & Eve of cereal flavors.
