So I know it may be a little strange, but I’m sort of endlessly fascinated by cereals.
Seriously.
I LOVE THEM. I’ve even written blog posts about them before.
And while I’d like to think that my cereal tastes show how I’ve grown and matured as a person, I pretty much like all the same cereals that I did when I was a kid.
Frosted Flakes? Yes ma’am. Brings back fond memories of staying up until 10 o’clock to watch “Charlie’s Angels” re-runs on a station out of Chicago. Frosted Flakes was always my go-to late-night snack.
Frosted Mini-Wheats? Please and thank you. It was hands-down my favorite cereal for the mornings. Not too sweet – and when the milk starts to change the texture of the wheat wafers just a little bit so that they’re slightly mushy but not soggy? That’s what cereal-eating will be like in heaven.
Apple Jacks? Why, I believe I will. They always remind me of spending the night with my friend Laura and playing endless rounds of Trivial Pursuit with her parents. I really have no idea why I associate those things with each other; I can only assume that I chose cereal as my snack food during our games.
However, recently my loyalties have shifted to a new cereal that my little boy discovered earlier this summer. He saw it one day in the cereal aisle, asked if we could PLEASE PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE add it to our breakfast rotation, and since I am always a proponent of refining our cereal-related palates, I agreed.
You may have noticed that we are very fancy in our house. Very fancy indeed.
What I could have never known, of course, is that while the little guy would try and like this cereal, I would try it and LOVE IT. Except that I’m not really that sure that “love” is a strong enough word.
Oh my goodness, people. This stuff is divine. It’s different from other cereals in the cinnamon-sugar vein because it’s actually much more cinnamon-y than sugar-y. For that reason, it’s not too sweet for the mornings, but more than anything else, it is PERFECT for dessert. And as I’ve said before, if you are not familiar with the cereal-as-dessert-option, then clearly I have overshared. I do apologize.

I used to LOVE Apple Jacks! They are a little too young for me now as I have graduated to fruit and less sugary cereals but I remember the Apple Jacks days fondly…
I LOVE Cracklin’ Oat Bran! I know it sounds “questionable” but I love to eat it dry right out of the box or it is really good crushed and sprinkled on peach yogurt! Yummm!!!
I know it sounds crazy, but I love Corn Flakes. With sugar, of course.
I love Frosted Mini Wheats!
Honey Smacks for sure!
Right now, it’s Special K fruit & yogurt. It has been a lifesaver while on my weight loss endeavours.
I think frosted flakes is the winner for me!
Apple Jacks have gotten me through many a late night of last minute paper writing…
I love Special K….seriously love all the different kinds!
I love the Special K Red Berries.
Rice Krispies – not so much for the cereal, but for the treats.
My fave from childhood is Cookie Crisp! Cookies for breakfast? Heckyeah!
My fave was always Captain Crunch. I loved it!
I love Raisin Bran and Cracklin Oat Bran. When I was younger, probably Apple Jacks.
I liked Apple Jacks and Froot Loops as a kid.
Frosted mini wheats. Love em.
Tony and CornPops will always have a spot in my heart
We love Special K’s fruit and Yogurt cereal.

Apple Jacks!!!
i grew up touring the kelloggs plant every summer. nothing was better than getting a free box of froot loops at the end of the tour. we didn’t get sugar cereals except for this tour so it was always a special treat…
PB Captain Crunch.
My fav from childhood would be Frosted Flakes. That was in the dark ages before they had so much to choose from!
I always liked Frosted Flakes and now my family loves it too.
eddiem11@ca.rr.com
ooooh, i love ALL the varieties of special K. YUMMO.
My mom would not buy “junk cereal” and the closest we could get was Rice Krispies, they were a favorite!
Special K blueberries!
I loved Frosted Rice Krispies when I was younger. They don’t make those anymore. :(
My whole family love Rice Krispies!! We eat them all the time. And I love to make treats with them too.
I’ve always loved Frosted Flakes and Froot Loops and now my kids love them too.
I love frosted mini wheats, especially those newer tiny ones. Great snack.
Rice Krispies…loved the “snap,crackle,pop” as a child. Also, love the Rice Krispie Treats for snacks/desserts.
FROOT LOOPS! Ever since I was a child. And even now, about once every four months, I get a crazy craving for them. Big bowl, with milk. Doesn’t get any better than that!
Our favorites would have to be Frosted Mini Wheats with Raisin Bran Crunch a very close second!!
Frosted Mini Wheats are a staple in our house. At any given time we have at least 5 boxes in the pantry.
Growing up, I loved Frosted Flakes and Cocoa Krispies (and Qwisp, does anyone remember? Oops, that might not have been Kelloggs!). Now I love Frosted Mini-Wheats, especially the strawberry kind. My favorite was actually the Vanilla Creme (Hello, Kelloggs, are you listening? Bring it back!).
My favorites are Rice Krispies and Frosted Flakes!

I loved Golden Grahams as a kid.
Thanks for the fun giveaway!
Loved the Rice Crispies! When I was little you could send in for things they advertised on the box. My favorite was a Snap, Crackle Pop Beach towel. The Rice Crispie treats aren’t bad either! :0
I loved Frosted Flakes. Now I leave that to my 13-year old who could seriously live on them. I have seen the Cinnabon cereal at the store but I haven’t tried it yet. Gotta get some now!
I loved Froot Loops [and still do!]
I love Apple Jacks!

I thought it couldn’t get better than Frosted Mini Wheats and then they came up with the Bite Size version. Perfect!
Cocoa Krispies, for sure!
Cracklin’ Oat Bran hands down, it’s the best!
We used to eat Frosted Flakes with Tony the Tiger, but they are too sweet for me now!
Thanks for a chance to win!

my fav is fruit loops without milk…
Cinnamon Toast Crunch! My sister and I would always beg my mom to buy it at the grocery store and every once in a while she would give in. Now I realize why she did not want us eating it every morning – it is practically sugar in a box, but so DELICIOUS! The Cinnabon cereal sounds like something I would love!
I looove to mix Frosted Flakes and regular Corn Flakes together. Lots of crunch and corn, but not quite as much sugar that way. I can’t handle the sugar like I did as a kid. :)
I would have to say that Frosted Mini Wheats are my favorite Kelloggs cereal.
Cracklin’ Oat Bran is the ONLY cereal my oldest son will eat. I have this theory that, because I was in a major Cracklin’ phase during pregnancy and nursing, that he is programmed to love it. :) My personal fave is Cinnamon Streusel — we keep that company is business, as we buy at least 104 boxes of Kellogg’s cereal every year!
yawn, i know, but — I love the corn flakes. every time I eat them, I think of my grandpa eating a bowlful every morning as I spent summers with him and my grandma as a young child.
I love Frosted Flakes, but haven’t had it in a while…
KELLOG’S corn flakes was the only cereal I would eat as a kid. My husband likes to mix 3 or 4 types together so we have a box of cheerios and rice crispies and more on our pantry shelf.
My family loves Mini Wheats, but for a treat while camping we eat Apple Jacks!
Love the Frosted Flakes! Rice Krispies are a close second!
My favorite all time cereal is Peanut Butter Captain Crunch. Running a close second is Cinnamon Toast Crunch, which means I’m very excited to try the Cinnabon. Now, my favorite SNACK cereals are Fruit Loops and Cheerios. But the ceral eaten most often in our home? Frosted Mini-Wheats! We consider that a healthy alternative.
Love the special K!
LUCKY CHARMS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will eat them with milk, without, in a cup, in a bowl, in the palm of my hand, snuggled inside a paper towel… Sometimes I pick out the marshmallow pieces and eat them first, sometimes I don’t. They’re just so versatile. :-D
I really like cinnamon toast crunch but if I’m trying to be healthier I like Special K with berries.
Apple Jacks! Love them…I would always pick that for my special birthday cereal growing up. But this Cinnabon cereal makes me stop and stare every time I’m in the store…yum.
special k
Apple Jacks!
Apple Jacks or Apple Cheerios!
Frosted mini wheats with frozen blueberries and soymilk!
we love rice krispies!

Frosted Mini Wheats are good drenched in milk
When I was young we always had Raisin Bran and Rice Krispies. These days I love the Low Fat Granola and I even occasionally get the kids variety pak so I can snack on Froot Loops and Corn Pops.
Frosted mini wheats are our favorite and we love all the new varieties they offer now! :)
Snap..Crackle..POP!! Gotta have my POPS…..CORN POPS!!!
A tie between Frosted Flakes and Frosted Mini Wheats. Remember when they had the UN-frosted flakes? Maybe they still do, but I for one, am NOT a fan!
We love Special K and Cornflakes!
My favourite cereal is Cocoa Krispies. We can’t get it in Canada so I try to buy some every time I visit the US. I add corn syrup and peanut butter to it to make a crust for ice cream pie! It’s YUMMY!!!! Thanks for the chance to win. LOVE your blog!! Would love to meet you someday. You have such a wonderful way of writing – it makes everyone think they are best friends with you! :)
Oh my goodness…my favorite is DEFINITELY the new Cinnabon one! I literally ate an entire box BY MYSELF in 24 hours last week…no milk, just me, the box, and my PMS. ;)
I don’t know if these are Kellogg’s… but I feel like the best cereals are and if I haven’t mentioned any here, I can still promise you that I love them. My all time fave would have to be Cocoa Puffs. But I LOOOOVE cereal. Especially the awesome sugary ones like Corn Pops and Cap’n Crunch and Fruity Pebbles. Love.
I love frosted mini wheats. God for kids good for adults. The best of both worlds.
We like Rice Krispies and Special K.
my sons favorite is apple jacks! i like their raisin bran
nannypanpan at sbcglobal.net
Froot Loops. Love em even now!!
Frosted Mini Wheats. I eat them dry and sort them so I eat the ones with the least amount of frosting first and save the heavily-frosted ones for last!
We actually just tried the Cinnabon cereal this week-and we love it as well!
We never had sugar cereals as children. But the few times I had Froot Loops (at someone else’s house), I was in heaven. As an adult, I enjoy Froot Loops occasionally, but only as a dessert food.
I tweeted this contest:

Oh… Special K cereals (all flavors) are just plain awesome. I can’t eat enough of ’em.
For as long as I can remember, Frosted Mini Wheats are one of my favorites. I think I’ve passed on my great sense of taste to my family.
Mmm…frosted mini-wheats. Doesn’t get any better!
I loved Frosted Flakes as a kid and still do. I have however grown up a little and quite enjoy Raisin Bran.
Frosted Mini Wheats are a go-to for me in the mornings. Yum!
Without a shadow of doubt… Peanut Butter Cap’n Crunch! It’s my all-time favorite cereal!
Frosted Mini-Wheats for sure. Unless I’m eating chocolate ice cream, then I all Frosted Flakes. yum.
My favorite is frosted mini wheats…
I love Honey Bunches of Oats with Strawberries… but I need to try this! The one thing that I cannot get enough of during my pregnancy is cinnamon rolls!
I can’t help it….I love the kids cereals still! For my favorite, it’s got to be Fruit Loops. Thanks for the great giveaway.
I love Frosted Flakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I adore Kellogg’s Smart Start!
I love special K chocolate
We like Kellogg’s Mueslix
I love Corn Pops and Apple Jacks. I also love how Apple Jacks is now made with more fiber. I could always use more of that!
Thanks for the give-away!
