Cuetara Choco Flakes Cereal review!

 This has to be one of the most interesting cereals I've ever seen. Described as "puffed rice and chocolate chips wrapped in cracker biscuit";the unique combination was something I knew I had to try. Especially because they reminded me of little tiny pop tarts in cereal form.


 Opening the bag up, the pieces were bigger, heavier and sturdier than I imagined. I mean they look good, right? Kinda like one of those stone faces from Super Mario but also very appetising. There's a thought I never thought I'd have. The recommended serving is 9 pieces, which is shown above.
Trying a piece dry , the flavour was nice, but what really made it was the combination of textures. From light and airy puffed rice, to smooth chocolate chips, to crunchy biscuit. When you add milk however , the crunchy biscuit part doesn't last very long. Like at all. I'm talking about 10 seconds max before the biscuit exterior dissolves and is never to be seen again. This isn't necessarily a bad thing though! The outcome is still a lovely, unique experience and you're left with a biscuit flavoured milk. If you're anything like me, biscuit flavoured milk = cereal goals. I got my box on the cereal killer cafe's online shop, but they also had it available in-store when I last went. So give it a try - it's a weird one.

Overall

Taste - 4/5
Texture - 4/5
Sog factor - 0.5/5
Cereal Milk - 3/5

Last Comments: When looking for information about this cereal online , this was the first thing I found. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5YbaCW5qbI. From what I gathered , this cereal mascot thing was giving a doll a limited amount of time before he was going to sexually assault her.  But I'm hoping I've got that wrong.

New: Special K Biscuit Moments, Double Choc Review!

So Kellogg's have added two new flavours to their biscuit moments range. The "Double Choc" which we have here and the very fancy sounding "Black Forest Gateau." Despite the sneakily similar packaging I have avoided picking up that version. Aint no fruit getting near my chocolate. The only exception I will make when it comes to fruit in dessert is Banoffee pie. Other than that the rule is- if it's one of your five a day then it's not pudding.

I kind of feel like these biscuits are like diet Pop Tarts. I've only had the chocolate version , which I'm pretty sure is the same thing with a plain pastry. They were okay , but I was hoping the extra chocolate would make them better.



If something looks like it could be microwaved then I will microwave it. That's another rule. Well, it's not really but it usually makes thing better. So you can probably guess that I did in fact microwave one biscuit and reserved the other for cold testing. After 15 seconds, the drizzle had melted slightly and the smell of brownie filled the air. Both promising things.

I tried the microwaved one first. Unfortunately the taste was pretty bland. Nice, but not great. The cold one was actually better I think, it was richer and had a better crunch. Maybe I nuked all the flavour out of the other one, but hey it was for science. As usual , I dipped it in a cup of tea and it made it slightly nicer but not by a great amount.

Quite underwhelming really. However I do think they're a good chocolate hit and I have the sweetest tooth ever so that's something.

Overall

Texture:3/5
Taste:2/5
Dunk Difference: 3/5

Last Comments: Don't microwave toast it's super grody. Or do because you're an independent woman but also don't because it just ruins it and then you'll have to start again.
