Overall Average Rating = 5 (out of 5) View all 30 comments for this cereal. By selfdo This cereal was parodied by Matt Groening twice: First, in the Simpsons, at one point when Montgomery Burns deigns to go to the "food jobber" to get some grub for himself, he scrutinizes a box of Count Chocula and puts it in his basket, saying, "Well, it looks like me...". Some time later, a fave breakfast treat for Phillip J. Fry is Arch-Duke Chocula, presumably over 1000 years promoted from a lowly Count. Comment submitted: 4/20/2013 (#11784) By Postman
General Mills, please bring back the oat based cereal pieces for the 2013 Halloween season for all the Monster Cereals. It is much better than the corn based. Comment submitted: 1/28/2013 (#10566) By U2XMPatriot (Team Breakfast Member)
My favorite as a kid in the 70's. Since then, the tiny marshmallow shape and button like shaped cereal has changed as well as the flavor. Comment submitted: 11/8/2012 (#9836) By PattyCake
I miss my Count Chocula. This was my favorite childhood cereal and now it's been taken away. Please bring it back. I bought my 6 years old daughter her first box from target on Halloween and now I have her hooked on it. I would like for it to be her childhood cereal. I'm not sure why they took it off the shelf, but I was sadden when they did. - Pattycake Comment submitted: 11/5/2012 (#9818) By Ernie
One of the best chocolate cereals out there, up there with Cocoa Puffs and Cocoa Pebbles. Comment submitted: 10/13/2012 (#9452) By John John
I agree with YumYum14 - Count Chocula should be made all year round. Comment submitted: 10/6/2012 (#9367) By YumYum14
They need to have this available all the time - not just Halloween. I love it! Comment submitted: 9/30/2012 (#9283) By manofmystery
The all time king of the chocolate and/or marshmallow cereals, as far as I'm concerned. Comment submitted: 9/4/2012 (#9039) By Ruppthritis
They didn't change it in the 90s - they changed it in approx 2005. But you're right the marshmallows taste like bad Lucky Charms and they turn green. A shadow of it's former self. Comment submitted: 7/28/2012 (#8627) By andreas007 (Team Breakfast Member)
