Choco Caramel Shreddies

Here we go, post number one!

So, where do we begin?

The first, and possibly most important part of the whole experience, the aroma, the sweet caramel scent that you detect as soon as you open the packet.  This cereal isn't messing about!  The smell is exactly what you would imagine, and it is delightful.

Texturally, these are much more akin to their frosted counterpart, and not the lesser "choco" brother of the family.  They don't have that over-hard crunchiness, but don't go too soggy quickly either.  These are important factors, and this cereal scores well.

The taste.....well, the taste is a sweet, almost creamy caramel with a hint (faint hint might I add) of chocolate.  It is really very nice, but just not quite chocolatey enough for me.  Combined with it's fragrance though, it really is pleasant.

Now, after all the cereal has been devoured, there's something special left in the bowl.  The milk has turned into a sweet chocolatey delight, something I loved, and reason enough to want more of this cereal.  I love a good milkshake, I love a good cereal, these have found a great balance in providing both.

So, compared to the rest of the Shreddies family, these stand taller than the original and "choco" varieties, but fall marginally short of the older brother that is the Frosted Shreddies.

As a cereal on it's own, it's a delight, but with not enough chocolate flavour, it's not exactly perfect.

4/5 (great)

A great cereal, just not a strong a contender as the Frosted Shreddies and not enough chocolate flavour for me.
