Which means I am definitely sending the “Give One” from my box of Honey Nut Cheerios to my mom. But between handing them off to the kids for a quick breakfast on-the-go, afterschool snacks, and my own personal * ahem* taste-testing (for official blog purposes of course)– the whole plate disappeared before I had a chance to share them with her. I meant to take her a big plate of these Cheerios Peanut Butter Bars… I swear I did. Fortunately, Cheerios still fit right into her lifestyle– and it just so happens that the two other ingredients in this recipe do as well. She's recently had to make some diet adjustments for health reasons, and she's been missing some of her favorite treats. And my mom happens to LOVE these peanut butter Cheerios bars. When Cheerios reached out to help spread the word about specially marked Buy One, Give One boxes of Cheerios, I knew exactly what I wanted to make! Buy One, Give One is all about sending a little joy to someone you love with their favorite Cheerios.

Nothing can top those sweet crunchy balls of goodness but this is a great addition to Cheerios’ strong lineup of cereals that still feels more responsible than eating candy for breakfast. The chocolate and peanut butter are balanced with neither really taking the other one over, and every bite has a solid distribution of both flavors.Īre Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios better than Reese’s Puffs? Nah. There’s a nice, genuine bitter cocoa flavor that pops up over the PB and compliments the fatty nutty qualities really well. Once fully submerged in the cold creaminess the lower sugar content as compared to Reese’s Puffs is more obvious, and it eats a lot more like an “adult cereal” than a cartoon kiddy classic. In milk the peanut butter mouthfeel is much less apparent, but the smoothness is still in tact with the natural texture of the milk. The pieces taste like peanut butter and chocolate but also very distinctly Cheerios, and much like Honey Nut and other sweetened varieties, the sugar content isn’t so much that it takes away from the base flavor of the notoriously heart healthy breakfast option. Peanut butter is the third ingredient on the label, and I was pleasantly surprised that the PB presence pushes beyond flavor and translates to a wonderful fatty texture as well. What’s most impressive about eating these Cheerios is the authentic peanut butter slick that coats the pieces of cereal. Visually they’re very appealing with an equal amount of tan PB and brown chocolate O’s mingling together to create a wholesome version of one of the greatest duos of all time. The cereal has a great, sweet peanut butter-y aroma mixed with the whole oat goodness you know and love from Cheerios. Whether tugging at our Reese’s Puffs memories or just realizing PB and chocolate is one of the greatest flavor combo’s ever, Cheerios came strong this autumn with a new member of their preferment lineup – Chocolate Peanut Butter. From that moment on the Puffs became one of my favorite cereals, and up there with Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Count Chocula, it has maintained a stronghold on my nostalgia-fueled favorites as I’ve gotten older.
#CHEERIO ICE CREAM BAR TV#
My fantasy was somewhat fulfilled as a youngster when I was beckoned to the TV as another young white boy hollered at me “It’s Reese’s…for breakfast!” My head turned and my life changed, when Reese’s Puffs cereal was gifted to the world in the mid-90’s. If I could eat Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups every day for breakfast and not feel like a pile of garbage, I probably would.
