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.

For me, Rice Krispies are always going to be delicious. I will eat them until the day I die. :-)
Special K- red berries or vanilla almond. Yum-o!

I buy Rice Krispies… but mostly to make Rice Krispie Treats.

I love Cracklin Oat Bran, my kids love all of the others. In fact, there happen to be 20something boxes of Kellogg’s cereal in my pantry at the moment, because there was a superb sale, and my boys eat a box a day. The limit to buy in one day was 5, and it ran for 2 weeks, and I went every day. We had right at 70 boxes at one point.
I love Special K
Frosted Flakes – my favorite growing up, and now my son loves them so we can eat them together. Cereal is one of my favorite things, it is even lunch or supper if I’m pressed for time!
My fav growing up was actually Frosted Flakes and I now eat Special K, but my kids love frosted flakes and froot loops

I am a big fan of frosted shredded wheat – bite size! Yum!!
I love me some plain old Rice Krispies with a sprinkle of sugar on top! Apple Jacks were a favorite when I was younger.
For me, it was Rice Krispies growing up. And I KNOW I poured way too much sugar on them to “liven up” the popping!
Favorite is Cocoa Krispies, luv how it turns my milk all chocolatey
I like Rice Krispies.
Frosted Mini-Wheats, hands down. My 2 year old and I love to share a bowl of them in the morning:)
I love Raisin Bran!
love the new Kellogg’s low fat granola. Great with fruit and yogurt.
Hi – My favorite cereal is Raisin Bran. Love those 2 Scoops! I also like frosted mini wheats, just don’t let myself buy them very often.
Thanks! Tina

Frosted Flakes are my favorite! Thanks so much for the giveaway :)
My favorite cereal is Kellogg’s 40% Bran Flakes (they’ve changed the name–but I still love them) and I love making bran muffins using the recipe that I memorized 30 years ago. My family doesn’t share my enjoyment of bran cereal–they each have their favorites (Frosted Mini-Wheats, Frosted Flakes, hmm…I’m starting to see a pattern here). I also use Rice Krispies and Corn Flakes or Special K to make sweet treats (Marshmallow Treats and Peanut Butter Bars).
ss a kid I loved Apple Jacks, now I’m a big fan of Special K with Red Berries. And that Cinnabon cereal looks yummy!
I’ve always liked Cheerios – regualar and Honey Nut!
All of them but apple jacks a little more than the others!
My favorite Kellogg’s breakfast cereals are Apple Jacks and Frosted Mini Wheats!

Frosted Flakes.
I l-o-v-e a bowl of Frosted Mini Wheats in the morning. The Cinnabon cereal in your post looks enticing though!!! I’ll have to give it a try once I find it in the store. :)
I’ve loved Frosted Flakes since I was a kid, and they’re still my favorite.
Good ol’ Raisin Bran was my Mammaw’s breakfast every morning, and I’ve taken a liking to it too.
My hubby loves Frosted Flakes.
We love Apple Jacks and Fruit Loops
Hands down my favorite Kelloggs Cereal is Frosted Flakes, thanks

Corn Flakes now, Frosted Flakes when I was a little kid.
My favorite is Apple Jacks. Always has been.
Kellogg’s Honey Smacks, I eat it right out of the box..grab a handful and snack away.
I loved the regular Kellogg’s corn flakes with rooster on it. It was a favorite as a child and as an adult

My kids’ favorites are Lucky Charms and Chocolate Lil Bites Frosted Mini Wheats.
The Cinnabon cereal look good but I havent tryed it.We eat Cheerioes,frosted flakes around here but my favorite is Lucky Charms.Thanks for the chance to win!!
I have never been one to find a favorite cereal and get it all the time. I like to mix it up so there are several that I like. I think the best option all around though – health and taste wise is the Special K with berries. Good stuff!
Frosted Mini Wheats! I loved them when I was little…and we all love them now!
Frosted Flakes is my favorite cereal.

I love having a bowl of cereal before going to bed. Coco Puffs are like eating a desert, so very filled with a chocolate taste, and who dosen’t love chocolate.
I used to be into “Kix” but now I’m a huge Mini Wheat fan. I can eat the damn stuff for breakfast, lunch and dinner! kytah00@yahoo.com
I’m a Kellogg’s Raisin Bran or Special K girl, but my husband and daughter are huge fans of Frosted Mini Wheats.
I love Rice Krispies. I loved them when I was a kid and still do today! And nothing beats homemade Rice Krispy bars! Yum!
Kelloggs Cornflakes for sure! It’s crunchy and delicious :)
My favorite cereal is Kellogs Corn Flakes. I even liked that when I was a kid!

I love Raisin Bran Crunch, but I am now really loving the Special K Chocolate
My favorite has always been Rice Crispies!
All Bran with yogurt bites!
Kellogg’s Corn Pops were my favorite as a kid. And not served with milk but mixed into a coffee-flavored yogurt. That concoction was the “bestest”. And eaten at the table behind/under a make-shift tent made of ceral boxes, even better! What a great memory from my childhood.
I like Frosted Flakes
We love Honey Smacks!
Frosted Mini-Wheats! love it when you bite into one and the milk squishes out!
I love Frosted mini wheats!! Hate milk, but I can eat a whole box in a day.
Definately fruit loops for the kids! Thanks

Only cereals I remember having in our house when we were children were Kelloggs Corn Flakes and Raisin Bran. Still love those corn flakes and love to make raisin bran muffins. Also like mini-wheats.
As a kid, I always wanted Apple Jacks! Although I still buy and eat it now, my favorite is Special K with red berries!
Thanks

I go through phases when I can’t get enough Corn Pops…and then Frosted Mini-Wheats…and then Raisin Bran Crunch with sliced bananas…and I will always love Rice Krispies!!! As a child, I made my own “Cocoa Krispies” by stirring in some chocolate milk drink mix. Fun memories!
My husband and I LOVE Raisin Bran. We go through a couple of boxes a week (especially weeks I don’t cook at night very often). It’s practically its own food group in our house.
Nope! I love the Cinnabons! SOOO wonderful, and a lot less fat than the actual real life cinnabons!
I loved the regular Kellogg’s corn flakes with rooster on it. It was a favorite as a child and as an adult

Apple jacks – I never have them anymore, but they sure bring back memories!
I have 3 young boys who eat cereal every day. They would eat it for every meal if I let them. We all love Corn flakes!
My favorite when I was younger was the Krispies cereal!! I used to love it and it was a special day when my mom brought it home from the grocery store!! :) Now, I love special K, fruit and berries!
My favorite Kellogg cereal is Special K — it’s healthy and it starts with a K :)
ONE?? You want me to pick one? Seriously?
Okay – my favorite today is Frosted Flakes.
