Review
This has always reminded me of the close cousin or brother of Cinnamon Life cereal. Their appearance is a mix of brown and light-colored square Chex pieces with plenty of gritty-looking sugar and cinnamon.
Without milk, it’s a pleasant cereal despite what seems like an overabundance of sugar and cinnamon on it. They’re mildly to moderately sweet and have an inoffensive, sugary, cinnamon flavor with a noticeable background of rice cereal. If I had to compare it to another cereal with a similar flavor profile, it’s kind of like Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but much less sweet and cinnamony, with less of a corn-graham-cracker taste. Lastly, this cereal provides a satisfying crunch, and I can see why people use it in trail mix.
When thrown in some milk, they soften a bit while retaining a decent, pleasant crunch. Personally, I like this texture; it’s quite a good balance, whether you prefer something stiffer or soggier. Some of the cinnamon sweetness is lost to the milk; however, the cereal becomes much more milky and creamy. Of course, with the loss of some of the flavor, the milk takes it up; though it’s nothing super crazy or sweet by any means.
Overall, this cereal feels both satisfying and not overbearing. It’s not too sweet, and the flavors are nice, especially the rice flavor with a perfect balance of cinnamon and sugar. It won’t woo you (especially those with a sugar tooth), but it won’t disappoint.
