Crunch Creations: Rocky Road Cereal

Welcome! To the new segment of this blog titled "Crunch Creations" . This is where I will be posting cereal creations intended to imitate a flavour or food and letting you know if its worth it. The ingredients will be posted at the bottom of the page, so you if you'd like you can recreate the experience at home.How exciting.

I'm starting off with something easy- Rocky Road! To make this in cereal form I used the following:
Coco pops,mini marshmallows and digestive biscuits. Many enjoy the odd raisin in their rocky road - but I shall not partake in any eating of the wrinkly grape! However if you do like them , then I'm sure they would accompany the flavour well.

As mentioned this was a pretty safe bet , but not as good as I thought it would be. To get a realistic taste of rocky road you really have to concentrate on eating it, otherwise the flavours over power each  other too easily. However when you do focus, it comes together perfectly and replicates the flavour very well.Even when the biscuit goes soggy it doesn't matter as it blends with the milk for what can only be described as liquid biscuit.The marshmallow brings a sweet chewiness after the crunch which is identical to that of actual rocky road, making this a bowl to defiantly try at home.

More flavours will be coming soon, if you have any ideas you'd like me to try then please let me know!

Cap'n Crunch's Sprinkled Donut Crunch cereal review!

 I'm all for food that looks like other food. Whether it's French Toast Crunch, dinosaur chicken nuggets or a cake that looks like a burger- I love it! Right now you'll probably either be nodding your head in agreement or wondering if I am in fact 8 years old.But lets put any differences aside and marvel at the fact that this cereal exists.This is the sort of thing we would never get in the UK and I knew I had to try it.

Opening the bag, I was punched in the face by the sweet smell of ...? I have no idea, my nose has never experienced this smell but it was very strong and smelt good.Maybe this is how doughnuts smell in America.Maybe I've never taken the time to smell a doughnut properly.Or maybe I should just stop over analysing it.

As you can see , it lives up to it's name.While the hoop shape is common for cereals, the sprinkles were a great touch and I thought it was impressive that they used proper ones instead of a fake decoration.Above is the recommended 28g serving but a few extra doughnuts can't hurt.

I tried a single piece dry, eating it how one would eat a doughnut as I felt it only fair.I was actually very surprised at how much flavour one piece had and eagerly added the milk. I scooped the hoops, making sure I got some extra "sprinkly" ones and was met with a very sweet,vanilla flavour.I have to admit I found it a bit overwhelming.It had a very unique taste and I wasn't sure if I liked it or not.However as I contemplated this , I kept eating, proving it to be quite more-ish. One thing that is impressive is the crunch! I can see how the captain got his nickname, despite the controversy over his actual ranking.The cereal stayed crunchy throughout and the flavour actually got better after having a little soaking! I think this is because the sweetness got a bit diluted and the bowl became a bit more bearable, or bowl- arable shall we say.You are left with something similar to what I imagine original Cap'n Crunch taste's like , but I couldn't say for sure as I've never tried them.

The colour of the sprinkles make their way into the milk, resulting in a greenish, blue colour that reminds me of those toffee ice creams you could get from the ice cream van after school. Unfortunately that's not how it tasted , but I was too mesmerised by the colours to care.

In all honesty, it's probably going to take me a while to get through the box, but I enjoyed the novelty of eating more than 12 doughnuts at once without feeling a mixture of triumph,proudness and regret.
If you have any food you like that looks like other food, please let me know in the comments!

New Weetabix Protein crunch chocolate cereal review!

Weetabix are a cereal brand that stay true to my heart. Not to be mistaken for a cereal band, such as Korn-flakes. Ok, I'm kidding , but I do love Weetabix in all of its forms- in particular "Crunchy Bran" and "Weeto's". Protein is becoming increasingly popular, and for adults that want to have chocolate for breakfast but also need the energy- this is perfect.

 Looking at the shape, I wasn't sure if I was about to eat cereal or crisps! I think you know which ones I'm talking about. Rhymes with "Sheet Munchies" which coincidently is another name for when people eat beds. They were also smaller than I imagined- which is good as they looked quite difficult to eat. For those wondering there is 20g of protein per 100g. Above is a 30g serving which gives you 6g. I don't know if that's good or not- my apologies.

They looked like they have the same sort of texture as Weeto's, So that's what I was thinking they would taste like.I went in with the milk.A few of the tubes together and there is a pleasant chocolate flavour. It's not amazing I have to say. To best explain it, I would say that it does taste like Weeto's-just not as good. The great thing is though is that there is no weird powder aftertaste that you can get with some protein products. Also when they say "crunch" they aren't kidding.I would even go as far to say they need a second to soak if you don't want to scratch your mouth. Maybe you do want to scratch your mouth and have been searching forever for a tiny cat that would be perfect for such needs.I don't know and I won't judge.

The further I got, the less of chocolate it started to taste and it started to get quite bland.I wondered if the chocolate had found its way into the milk. It hadn't.

Despite this , I did enjoy this cereal somewhat and I feel it is a great compromise for cereal lovers who need the extra boost in the morning.

Taste - 2/5
Texture - 3.5/5
