Kellogg's Special K Chocolate Delight cereal
Where purchased: Meijer
Price: $2.50 on sale
Overall rating: 2.5/5
Don't get me wrong. I like Special K. It's a crunchy, slightly sweet and hearty cereal. And the one with red berries? Delicious. So I figured this chocolate delight variety would not be a huge gamble. At most, I thought, there would be very few chocolate chunks and I'd think to myself "I might as well have just gotten the regular Special K."
Instead, I found an abundance of "chocolate" chunks. The problem was... they tasted nothing like chocolate. They looked like chocolate, but tasted like... well, nothing. They didn't even have a fake chocolate taste. So all you end up with are a bunch of strangely-textured things in your cereal that get stuck in your teeth and keep tricking you into thinking sooner or later you are going to taste chocolate. I actually went through and picked out all of the chocolate-looking pieces when I ate my second bowl.
Disappointing, Kellogg's. I expect more from you. But now I know better than to believe your commercials claiming that this cereal will fulfill that late night chocolate craving. No... I think I'd be better off eating some chocolate chips. Or chocolate pudding. Or chocolate covered raisins. Heck, I'd even go for my Chocolate Outrage Gu Energy Gels - they may not be actual food, but it at least they taste chocolatey!

yea, I wasn't a big fan of that cereal either. Kellogg's has disappointed me left and right lately. I am strictly over to General Mills and Quaker...at least they use some whole grains in their cereals and leave out the HFCS (which Kelloggs has not completely gone away with!! Have you tried Chocolate Cheerios or Chocolate Chex? I found the Chex to satisfy a "late night chocolate craving..."
