A dentist's worst nightmare: Cinnamon Toast Crunch Treats

On a trip to Avon Park, Florida a couple weeks back I came across a plethora of cereal bar treats. They had: Coco Puffs Treats (picked it up), Lucky Charms Treats (picked it up), Honey Nut Cheerios Cereal Bars (picked it up), Fruity Pebbles Treats (picked it up) and a bunch more that I don't remember and probably picked up. I'm here 3 weeks later to tell you that I ate off almost 2/3rds of the cereal bars I bought and I'm here to review one of the 4... or 5... or whatever, plenty.

If you're no stranger to the these sugar-laden cinnamon-battered cereal squares you've either eaten enough of them for your dentist to want to yank your head off and mount it on his wall like a prized trophy or you're a parent of a child who's eaten enough of them to keep your local dentist office in business. Either way, you've come across them.

As soon I ripped open the wrapper I got a whiff of its strong cinnamon presence. Almost overwhelming. I took a bite and the cinnamon presence was so strong it bombarded into my taste-buds headquarters like an F.D.A drug bust and started kicking my taste-buds ass!

The cinnamon pretty much dominates most of the other aspects of the treat. The other notable presence would be the sugary flavor, which does feel like a tad much, but I'm a fan of junk-food so it was tolerable. However, the overtly sugar-cinnamon-y taste may be overbearing for those not big on foods that will rot their teeth to its raw nerve.


These treats come at 24(g) per bar. They're not as messy as the cereal version where you're getting the sugar and cinnamon powder all over your fingers, and the nice-crunchy texture compliments the flavor well. Overall, I was SLIGHTLY disappointed that the cinnamon presence was so strong (almost nauseating),  not really allowing any of the other flavors to flourish, but its still satisfying enough to NOM NOM NOM through each bar like the Cookie Monster during his lunch period. Pick these up if you're fan of the Cereal... and get ready for the overinflated dentist bills you'll likely incur. ;)

The Start To Truly Foody-ism

Eek, I know - another wannabe food blogger jumping on the food blogging bandwagon. Cripes, these guys multiply like cockroaches. First off, I'd like to apologize in advance for the terrible literary skills you're gonna witness upon visiting this website. I'm not great at bringing people into my world and sharing my experiences through cleverly worded puns and all that other stuff professional food bloggers do to entice their readers. What I'm going to do is basically try my best to review foods I like on an occasional basis and hopefully you'll like what you see.




I'd like to start by saying I'm a BIG FAN of junk food, so you're going see a lot of reviews revolving around just that. If you're a fan of junk food you'll come to like this page if my wording skills don't scare you off. I eat junk food all the time. I love it. I can't get enough of it. If there was a machine out there that would zap junk food items down to 0 calories across the board on the nutritional scale whilst retaining its flavor, I wouldn't get to enjoy it, because I'd die from a heart attack hearing the news.



I also frequent plenty of Food blogs out there, such as The Impulsive Buy and Fat Guy Food Blog.  I think the only thing that really gravitates me to their blogs, other than seeing pictures of Junk Food items and salivating over them like Pin-up babes, is the way the reviews are written. Insightful, enticing, funny and creative - you won't get much of that here, but I'll try.



There isn't much beyond that to know about me, or this site. Occasionally reviews will be posted of foods I come across and if I choose to make a review of them it'll be done. All the Junk Food Junkies out there - WELCOME TO THE BLOG. To all the veggie-heads who've already made up their mind about me and my website, no hard feelings huh?
