The pumpkin spice trend has spread further than the reaches of trendy cafes and snack foods, in this case to your morning cereal bowl. This breakfast classic’s new spin turned out to be surprisingly good, especially with milk.
At first, the flavor of pumpkin spice was unpleasantly overpowering, but after letting it sit in the milk for a minute or so, I was left with a bowl of pumpkin spice milk and only lightly flavored cheerios. This was decidedly the optimal way to eat them, as otherwise the cheerios would be too soggy or too flavorful.
In terms of flavor, they definitely are a cut above the rest of the pumpkin spice products, with real pumpkin puree that can be clearly tasted in the cereal.
Considering the strong, unique flavor of the cheerios, though, I would only recommend buying a box with plans to share it, because the flavor becomes dull soon after the second or third bowl.
