Most Moms are familiar with Cheerios – the cereal, but did you know that Cheerios now makes a Cheerios Snack Mix?
The good folks are General Mills recently sent me a bag of the Cheddar Cheese variety to test out and I have to admit that I barely ate any — only because as soon as the boys tried it they annihilated almost the entire bag. They loved it – it totally ruined their dinner (we opened it when I got home from work).
A lot like the Chex Mix that adults eat, the Cheerios Snack mix contains Multi grain Cheerios, Chex cereal, pretzels, and crackers in a cheddar cheese flavor (It also comes in Original flavor). The nice part, when you compare the two, in my opinion is that the types of snacks in the Cheerios mix are a little more kid friendly (think choking on Melba toast, etc.) .
Cheerios Snack Mix retails for under $3. One thing to note is that it’s a pretty healthy snack, having 60-65% less fat than most potato chips. If you are looking for something different, I’d definitely recommend it.
