My Viewpoint: My family eats cereal quite often, I even catch some of them eating it as a "snack" from time to time, so nutritious and delicious cereals are important to us.  Honey Bunches of Oats looks appetizing, with great big oat and chocolate clusters and full size flakes that stay crunchy in milk.  However, I am not a big fan of chocolate first thing in the morning, so this cereal is a little too much sweetness for me.  I enjoy  Honey Bunches of Oats with Strawberries much better.

The rest of the family enjoy it very much, even the toddlers.  With fat free milk the nutritional value is comparable and better than some other cereals we have had in the home Quite often "more" is asked for by the children and dad, so with a few adjustment like using low fat milk and making sure they have some fruit with their breakfast I know that they are still getting to indulge their chocolate craving in a relatively healthy way. I would not serve it to them everyday, but every once in awhile is fine. The price is reasonable, and since it is a new product Post currently has a $2.00 off coupon available on their website, along with a variety of recipes that use Honey Bunches of Oats Cereals.
