Jif Peanut butter cereal review!

 When I saw this cereal I knew it needed to be good. After all it has strong competition. My favourite being Peanut butter toast crunch. In peanut butter cereal I look for a strong flavour,good crunch and a nice dust. Dust is a must.
 The peanut butter smell is strong with this one. I've never had Jif before as it's not as popular in the UK but if it tastes how this smells, I must try it. I was quite skeptical of this cereal as its concept reminded me of Cap 'n' crunch PB cereal, of which I'm not a fan.
I got a good amount on my spoon with some milk and was pleasantly surprised. The flavour is a decent replica of actual peanut butter and the crunch is great. My first bowl down and I thought I had it sussed. Better than Cap 'n' Crunch but nowhere near as good as PB Toast Crunch. 

Then something happened. Every bowl after got better and better. The flavour got stronger and I loved it more every time I had it. Maybe its because it got dustier after the top layer but I felt a victim of cereal witchcraft. Its just as good as my current favourite and I polished off the box pretty quickly.

As for sogginess , this cereal shines when its dry but is still good after a bit of a soak. It's only weakness is the milk, leaving very little flavour and only a reminder that it's all gone.Maybe I should add cereal milk to the overall list ? 

Anyway this cereal is amazing. I find some cereals I fall in love with the first couple of bowls and then go off them. However I loved these through and through.Just goes to show first impressions don't always count :)

Overall

Texture- 4/5
Taste-4.8/5
Sog factor-4/5
Cereal milk- 2/5

Last Comments- Jif sounds like an old-timey dance.

Peanut Butter Toast Crunch review


Peanut butter and cereal.Two of my most favourite things and this version stems from one of the nicest cereals - Cinnamon toast crunch.However, there are lots of mixed reviews about it.From what Iv'e read online the majority of people despise the stuff! But then I would find a positive among the swarms of negative and when people like this cereal they absolutely love it, and the praise was enough to convince me to buy a box.I must admit tough, they were at a reduced price as they are a few weeks out of date, but I was hoping this wouldn't have an effect.

 Opening the packet you are met with a very peanut buttery smell- it's good, but there's also an artificial smell lurking in the background, a bit like plastic, and it made me nervous. The squares were also quite orange, also not a great sign. So many people claimed these tasted horrible and artificial but I desperately wanted them to be good so I remained hopeful.I tried a square dry, there was a slight peanut taste, not as strong as I would like but this was only one square.

So I added the milk and got a good amount on my spoon. I love them.They're amazing. I'm in peanut butter crunch heaven. The first thing I thought of was that they taste like the inside of a Butterfinger but without the chocolate.The peanut butter flavour comes together great with the milk and is very, very moreish. The texture, as expected is perfect and their coating stays on for a good amount of time.
Orange speckles are left in the milk like a beautiful peanut butter cereal galaxy. The outcome of this being peanut flavoured milk.This might not sound nice but it is and could be a drink in its own right.

Ignore the bad reviews! They must want all the cereal for themselves-it's the only explanation.

Overall

Texture-5/5
Taste- 4.5/5
Sog Factor- 2.5/5
