New Product Review:

Chocolate Lucky Charms

From General Mills

Reviewed by Mr Breakfast on 2/25/2005

I was excited about this cereal. I'm a fan of Lucky Charms and a fan of chocolate... so to see our leprechaun friend surrounded in a vibrant cocoa brown on the box... gave me a thrill.

Chocolate Lucky Charms is a very sweet cereal. The overriding flavor is one of sugar more than chocolate. The dark brown nuggets and the already-familiar marshmallows really want to work together... but they don't. It tastes like you combined two cereals more than one great combined flavor. It's not a bad cereal and it will probably fill your morning craving for a sugary breakfast cereal... but don't expect any lasting impression. With all the choices we have for breakfast cereal, I wouldn't buy this one again.

For a 1 cup serving without milk: 0 saturated fat. 0 trans fat. 120 calories.

The price we paid: $3.99

I didn't ever eat Lucky Charms until Chocolate Lucky Charms came out. Now I like both.

I'm very upset that I can not find Chocolate Lucky Charms anymore in any stores. Somebody needs to make sure this product continues to be sold. #ticked-off

Conversely, I was caught off-guard with the new formula of CLC. The new recepie is SUPER...WAY better than the (already good) prior version. I only had about 1 bowl left in the box, so I went to my grocery store and bought 2 more. Unfortunately, they are the older type without the crunchier oat pieces and glaze. I'm hoping that my local store failed to properly rotate the boxes and some newer product slipped out before the old stock was depleted. Keep the new recepie, please.

I have tried the new Chocolate Lucky Charms the past 2 days and I think it is absolutely HORRIBLE now! They have changed something with it, the chocolate is covered in yucky sugary stuff and tastes really really bad. They just lost a CLC fan who would eat NOTHING but CLC every morning for breakfast. Now I have to find another cereal to eat. Thanks for nothing. The CLC used to be so good and not taste like all the other badly processed cereals and now they are just like all the other guys.

The latest box (with hourglass marshmallows) has changed. The chocolate oat bits are now sugar coated with a glaze rather than brown and porous like before. The forumla has changed and the resulting taste difference is a diaster. REally a waste of money.

I even think this is better than Cocoa Pebbles, which was the best cereal ever.

This cereal is the best if you're compulsive like me, and always ate the oats before the marshmallows. Now - The oats don't seem like penance for the upcoming teeth-chattering marshmallow goodness.

We did not like this cereal. Luckily we only paid 50 cents for the box. The kids (ages 8, 6 and 1.5) did not enjoy it at all. The oldest said it tasted "weird". Maybe ok as a dry snack, maybe.

I think it is safe to say Lucky Charms is the best cereal ever, this website doesn't know what its talking about. The only bad thing is I can't find them anymore.

I consider it more of a treat than a regular breakfast but my husband and I (both in our 30s) think this is the best cereal ever.

The new chocolate lucky charms cereal is the best cereal that has ever come out in a very long time. I love the taste of the chocolate and the marshmallows together, and i will continue buying this cereal as long as they do not make any changes to it's recipes. I have found with almost cereals, that after a time they start messing around with the recipe, and changing the taste to the worse. Please just let this flavor the way that it is. It is a great combination. Once you change the recipe, i will no longer purchase this product. Thank You for a wonderful, and great tasting cereal. The person, or persons who came up with this idea should be promnoted. I hope that you keep the shelves stocked forever with this cereal. Paul From Ocean City, Maryland

I never buy cereals like Lucky Charms for breakfast, I'd be twitchy the rest of the day if I ate it for breakfast. As a midday snack, this cereal was good, but I like regular Lucky Charms much better. I like the oaty flavor of the original pieces, that gets lost in the "chocolate" of these.

Overall, if I had this in the house I'd eat it, but if I was staring at this and regular Lucky Charms at the store, I'd buy the original.
