The cereal takes about 90 seconds to make in the microwave and not much longer on the stovetop. According to the manufacturer's website, " Kids love the warm cocoa taste and moms love the fortified nutrition. CoCo Wheats is now enriched with calcium, something both kids and adults need for a healthy body." CoCo Wheats is made with wheat farina and what the company calls "pure breakfast cocoa". It was available in 14-ounce and 28-ounce sizes as of 2007. Known premiums that came with this cereal include stick-on tattoos featuring 1930's Navy comic hero Don Winslow and a Wild West Singing Lariat. The instructions printed on the lariat spool stated, "Unwrap string.... whirl around head in a circle. Corkscrew, spiral, butterfly and many more tricks may be made." Lyrics to the CoCo Wheats jingle: CoCo Wheats, CoCo Wheats can't be beat They're the creamy hot cereal with a cocoa treat to be big and strong, have lots of fun! eat Co-Co Whe-eats everyone!

I love Cocoa Wheat and was raised on it in West Virginia. Came to Balto and found it in Walmart. Comment submitted: 3/23/2013 (#11361)  By Jersey girl76 (Team Breakfast Member)
My family absolutely love Cocoa Wheats. My Aunt used to bring them from WV back to Jersey. If you haven't tried it yet... After cooking "in milk" add peanut butter!! Oh Yeah, now that's pure love :) Comment submitted: 3/18/2013 (#11300) By CocoBob (Team Breakfast Member)
Best part of waking up in the winter was smelling the Coco Wheats my mother had waiting for us. Found out years later that Dad loved it too. In fact I'm on my last box from his house after he passed last June. He had four. I got two. Comment submitted: 3/5/2013 (#11131) By SKY
Love this cereal. Grew up with this over 40 years ago, my kids loved it and today my grand-daughter, who also loves it was saddened by not being able to find it in the stores. I don't care what anybody says about it... this cereal rocks! Comment submitted: 12/4/2012 (#10087) By Frank57
It's a long time staple in our family - it's what we grew up liking so comments about no real COCOA are unimportant. Comment submitted: 11/14/2012 (#9881) By Sykesville
Loved CoCo Wheats as a child but now it's hard to find where I live in MD. Comment submitted: 11/13/2012 (#9871) By Kim L
LOVE CoCo Wheats! Miss it now that I moved to AZ and can't find it anywhere. I grew up with it and it's definitely one of my favorite breakfasts.

There's not an ounce of "cocoa" taste in this "cereal", IMHO (tastes like dirt). I don't see it in stores anymore, but I know you can get it online - but would never buy it again. (myemptycanvasreviews.blogspot.com) Comment submitted: 6/21/2012 (#8139) By Event_Horizon
I was hoping to find a clip of the "ray charles" like commercial for this cereal. I still remember the jingle. Co-Co Wheats (back up singers: bup a bup boo) Co-Co Wheats (back up singers: bup a bup boo) HOT ! That's the way you make it. CHOC O LATE ! That's the way you take it. Have a hot breakfest with CoCo Wheats. Comment submitted: 3/23/2011 (#4184) View all 27 comments for this cereal. |
