Delicious, filling, not too sweet, perfect!
This cereal was literally my favorite thing on the planet! It's all I ate, every single day for years!!!! When I couldn't find it in stores anymore, I was so upset!! I looked all over, at so many different stores and never could find it again. It's been 6 months, finally googled about it; and saw they discontinued it. I used to buy 6 family size boxes every single week. Depressing!!!! Bring it back Kelloggs!!! It's the only good cereal I've ever had from Special K!
BRING IT BACK PLEASE!
For the love of cereal, why does Kellogg's keep discontinuing my favorite chocolate flakes cereal? I forgot what the predecessor was called, it was also chocolate and almonds but it got discontinued thankfully, they replaced it with the Chox Dipped Flakes. Now this one is gone and no replaced with anything similar. Chocolatey Delight is awful compared to this one! When I realized it was being discontinued I stocked up. I just opened my LAST BOX (expired July 15, 2023 but I don't care!). Now there is no cereal that I can buy to replace it with. It was perfect. Bring it back!
Great flavor!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] LOVE this cereal! Had a great chocolate flavor. Loved the little addition of almond slivers too. I eat it as a type of late night snack indulgence. Cereal stayed pretty crunchy too throughout and until the last bite. I will be getting this again!
