Rich Chocolaty Chex Mix

Another post from the grandparents house.


Chex mix and its many incarnations are pretty amazing when you think about it. On one hand, there's the standard salty version, while on the other there's the sweet and salty variety. Of course there's also regular boring ass plain Chex cereal too but the world needs stuff like that.

Anyways, here we have Chocolate Chex: With a Touch of Cocoa. Does that mean that it's already chocolate chex and they added extra cocoa?

Whatever.

Honestly, it tastes like someone just took plain chex cereal and added a handful of rich, chocolaty, Ovaltine (hence the blog title).

The chocolate pieces stay noticeably crunchy in milk while the plain pieces sog at a regular pace which is not bad at all.

Chocolate Chex is also about just sugary enough for sophisticated adults to eat as a guilty pleasure over the regular bland cereals I presume they eat regularly.

The best part of this cereal? Afterwards you get to drink chocolate milk!

Note that it does taste more like cocoa than chocolate so maybe the label on the box is correct and just missing a coma or two.

Really, if it has cocoa in it, doesn't that mean it's given that the product is chocolaty? Then again, Chocolate Chex: With Added Cocoa does sound better than simply Chex With Cocoa which leads me to believe I'm done complicating this.
