Honey Kix

From General Mills

Reviewed by Mr Breakfast on 6/27/2009

If you LOVE Kix Cereal... and you've yearned for a sweeter, more wheat-ey version... you may like this cereal. If that does not describe you, this cereal is a dud.

I was struck by how much this cereal reminded of another new cereal I reviewed recently... Jumbo Krispies from Kellogg's. Honey Kix is made up of smaller pieces that stay crunchy longer, but both cereal have a similar lackluster, non-descript sugar flavor. While Jumbo Krispies has a texture that turns to mush immediately in the mouth, Honey Kix takes an initial chew to achieve that same unpleasant, prematurely mushy, stick-to-your-teeth texture.

The sad bottom line is that there's nothing special about this cereal. It's too sweet and it's no fun.

I love Berry and regular Kix so I was excited to try this new version. I was really disappointed with Honey Kix though. It's too crunchy, the texture is weird and i didn't even get the slightest hint of honey from this cereal. I guess I expected more of a Honey Nut Cheerios flavor. I don't recommend this.

Tastes a lot like Cap'n Crunch (the original, not the peanut butter)

This is one of the best "healthy" kid cereals out there. How can you not like this? Regular Kix is for old people.
