Weeto's Cereal bar review

 Do cereal bars count as cereal? Of course they do , and are not forgotten on this journey of cereal discovery ! I didn't know these still existed and when I saw them in Poundland I was over the moon as Weeto's are one of my favourite cereals! An "on- the- go" option would be the perfect choice when I'm still peckish after an actual bowl of Weeto's. Just Kidding but I really do love them that much!
 Well the picture on the box looked appetizing , and I felt transported back to my child self as I remember the days when this was a common treat. Opening the bar it had that classic cereal bar smell if you know what I mean?
What I was hoping for was a bowl of Weeto's compacted into bar form with an extra chocolate hit from the base. Unfortunately this is not what I got. There is only a slight similarity between this and the actual taste of the cereal and the whole thing is just overpowered by a sweet taste. There is no real distinct flavour . The texture however was nice , crunchy and chewy as expected. Overall a disappointment , with the only saving grace being the chocolate base.

I have either been failed by my memories or by one of my favorite's. It's gunna take a while to recover from this one guys.

Overall

Texture: 3.5/5
Taste: 1.5/5
Sog Factor- N/A haha seems too official for what this is.

Tesco FreeFrom Crispy Choco-Nut Pillows Review


Gluten free products are becoming increasingly popular and I was happy and surprised to find these existed.I think we all know what cereal they are replicating and I was looking forward to seeing how they would compare.Why is the squirrel playing hockey? I really don't know , maybe it's working up an appetite.I however was ready for a bowl.

They don't have much of a smell , but that's probably because all the chocolaty goodness is encased in a crispy "pillow", so I was still hopeful. I didn't try one dry , thought I'd mix things up a bit and let it be a surprise because that's just the kind of crazy person I am.

Unfortunately I didn't have Krave to compare , but getting a few on a spoon I would say the taste is very similar. The chocolate hazelnut filling is delicious and how I hoped it would taste. Although they are quick to go soggy, the texture is still pleasant and holds the filling in well. You wouldn't be able to tell these were gluten free at all ! They didn't amaze me too much, but I think that's just because I prefer different types of cereals. If cereals had genres that was.Maybe I should make some up.

If you are gluten free you'll be happy to know this is a lovely cereal and I'm sure it will make many flour foes very happy :)

Overall

Texture- 3/5
Taste-3.5/5
Sog factor- 3/5
