Kellogg's Krave Chocolate Cereal, 11.4-Ounce (Pack of 4)

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I am not someone who likes most "breakfast" foods, like eggs, bacon, sausage, etc. So cereals, hot or cold, make up a lot of my breakfast choices. I am always looking for something new, so I was super excited to try Kellogg's Krave.

The first thing I noticed was the nutritional information. A 3/4 cup serving is only 120 calories, 3.5 grams of fat, 3 grams of fiber, and 2 grams protein. Not awful nutritionally, certainly better than a lot of cereals out there.

When I opened the box, it was initially just to look at the cereal, but Hubby and I tried a piece dry. It has a nice crunch, and tasty flavor. It was not overly chocolatey, just a mere hint of chocolate in the middle, which I actually really liked. I tried some with soy milk as a late night snack. With my milk, it was only 155 calories. And I enjoyed every single one. It stayed crunchy in the milk, and it had a nice flavor. I especially liked that the cereal was not overly sweet, just sweet enough with a hint of chocolate.

I really liked the cereal, and it is a nice way to break of the routine of oatmeal and traditional healthy cereals. In terms of where it falls on the health-taste balance, Krave falls somewhere between Kashi and Cocopuffs. I would, and in fact already have, recommend this to someone looking for a good cereal to break up the breakfast routine.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is a good addition to my evening snacking cereals. I'm a sugar and chocolate lover; definitely not a fan of things that are good for you. So when I had a chance to pick up another new cereal food group combo chocolate and sugar, who could pass it up. To top it off, the nuggets stay crispy enough (not like Capt'n Crunch, but as good as Frosted Flakes) through the entire bowl. The nugget piece is not cardboard tasting like other cereals (the round circles that have gone all anti-cholesterol on me) and the chocolate center is a terrific late taste bud pleaser. So I'm rating it a very good addition to the cabinet stock.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Krave is an interesting cereal, providing some grain goodness along with a chocolate center. The center is a chocolate filling, made with cocoa and chocolate, with a consistency somewhere between syrup and mousse. It is a bit on the sweet side, so children will definitely like it and adults shouldn't be put off by it. The shell is a crunchy, grainy texture. When served with milk, the shell softens and becomes somewhat slimy, which is a rather odd feeling in the mouth, but not really unacceptable.

Krave is a bit on the expensive side, but considering the price of most popular breakfast cereals today, it is not out of line. However, I wonder if it was really necessary to use embossing on the box? Doesn't that add to the cost, unnecessarily?

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Crispy, stands up well to milk. The corn nuggets are similar to Cap'n Crunch, but not as sweet. The chocolate inside isn't as much as the carton indicates (as usual with groceries!), but I think if there were more it would overwhelm the rest of it. Good, good stuff. I guess if I had kids I would buy this for them as a *treat*, not an actual nutritious breakfast. It probably has good vitamins and minerals, but I personally can't eat one serving by itself; so I would imagine your average munchkin would have the same difficulty.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I expected this cereal to be sickeningly sweet, and for the middle to be rather gooey and overpowering. Fortunately, the cereal is none of those things, thank goodness.

But it's not Nutella or Ghiradelli in cereal form, either. At best, it's average, and I doubt that I'll buy another box.

Why? Mostly due to the "crunchy coating." It's hard to describe the texture of these little floury pillows. They are a little bit like the texture (but not the taste) of Captain Crunch, in that they dissolve almost instantly when you bite it. But the moistened coating sticks tenaciously to your teeth after you eat the cereal, which turned out to be the thing that turned me off the most. It's one thing to rinse your mouth after eating, it's another to scrub your teeth as if you had been chewing taffy.

The chocolate in my box of cereal was almost skimpy. It was solid and not terrible chocolate, much to my surprise. Frankly the chocolate, although average, was the best part of cereal. It was the bizarre crunchy layer that had the main taste/texture/aftertaste problem that made the cereal a no go in my house.
