Only usually available in October, though, in with other Halloween stuff. Someone else mentioned Trix. That was a favorite when I was a kid, or Golden Grahams. ---

Any variety of Cheerios, Or anything with peanut butter in it (is there any cereal with peanut butter and chocolate?). ---

I was a children’s cereal marketer’s wet dream. You got all my childhood favorites except Grins, Smiles, Giggles and Laughs. I would have listed Apple Jacks but they’ve changed significantly and now they just make me sad. I still eat a lot of cereal. I like Total Cranberry Crunch a lot but it seems to be disappearing. Most days it’s either Total Raisin Bran or Multigrain Cheerios. Peanut butter Cherrios are pretty good. **panache45** , General Mills makes Reese’s Puffs. Chocolate and peanut butter. I can’t vouch for it. Surprisingly I’ve never much liked chocolate cereals so I haven’t tried it. ---

I don’t know what your equivalent of these is Stateside, but here in England my fave was Golden Nuggets. They were discontinued in the (I think) early 80s but resurfaced a few years ago. My first mouthful after nearly 30 years evoked so many childhood memories. ---

Jebus, I have no idea what something like 90% of these taste like, as my parents didn’t let us eat sugared cereal. When we got Honey Nut Cheerios, it was a treat. As a quasi grown up, I really don’t feel like eating Fruity Pebbles or whatever these days. The only two cereals I eat are Honey Bunches of Oats and, if I feel like something sweet, Frosted Shredded Wheat. I’d say Honey Bunches is my favorite. ---

> [@panache45](#): > > (is there any cereal with peanut butter and chocolate?). General Mills Reese’s Puffs (easy to find), Barbara’s Bakery Puffins (semi-easy to find, generally in “organic” sections in stores, Envirokidz Leapin’ Lemurs (never seen it, but Google never lies), and limited editions of Post Pebbles Boulders and Kellogg’s Bart Simpson Peanut Butter Chocolate Crunch. ---

When I was a kid, Fruit Loops were my most favorite, then Lucky Charms (they were my older sister’s favorite and often she’d hold on to the box and not let me have any) then Cptn. Crunch. I loved the taste and texture of Cptn. crunch, but didn’t like the way they stuck to my teeth. Now, I like Quaker Oat Squares & Great Grains Crunchy Pecan. Frosted Mini Wheats are good too. ---

None of them. Too many dreary memories of bowls of sugary artificial sludge while we watched awful Hanna Barbara cartoons - it was lose/lose. Now I like Frosted Mini-Wheats and any kind of granola, but I usually sprinkle on just a little granola, for texture and taste, over the shredded wheat. Straight granola is good, but not that good for you. ---

Kellogg’s Just Right with Fruit and Nut. It’s discontinued, and I’m very sad. That was my favorite cereal of all time by far. ---

I like all kinds of Life. Also Special K, and Cheerios, Raisin Bran, and corn flakes are OK. I’m not much for sweets in the morning. I really prefer oatmeal. ---

I’ve found a new favorite cereal. Kellog’s Krave double chocolate. Chocolate covered with a chocolate center. Mmmmmmmm. So far I haven’t put any milk on it, just eating it like a snack. Yesterday I put some in the middle of a peanut butter sandwich. Crunchy chocolatey peanutty goodness. ---
