From NJ: Fiber One Caramel Delight!


Sorry my pics are not working over a NJ so again iam posting a recent review

Again you may visit http://thiswaifcooks.blogspot.com/ for a picture of this. Well I am so excited that cereal companies a coming out with new cereals, as it appears, daily. I love cereal, not sure if its a vice or not because it can be healthy but its like my comfort food. I didn't grow up eating mac n'cheese (with a Beligan dad and Israeli mom, standard american classics weren't often in our kitchen) so cereal really is what comforts me. Plus its great for a meal or snack, its portable, etc.. so i am happy i get to try all these new cereals! anyhow, my second favorite to all bran is usually fiber one. I like their normal cereal and their honey clusters are pretty nice too, so i was having high hopes for their new caramel delight. A cup has 180 calories, 3g fat , 41g carbs, 9g fiber, 3g protein, and 10g sugars. a sweeter high fiber cereal all in all and actually fairly close nutritonally to the newly reviewed all-bran strawberry medley. They come in squares similar to cinnamon toast crunch but they are much "airy-er" and crisper as oppsed to really crunchy and hard. No grittyness you might get from other high fiber cereals and it wasn't too sweet. infact, it wasn't sweet at all. It was not bad, but i dont see the "caramel" to this delight. It was delightful, but i think the caramel claim is a bit far-fetched. This would be good if your trying to get kids to eat a high fiber cereal that doesen't look "healthy" becuase its brown, but other than that its a bit on the bland side. i know the original fiber one has no sugar, so why does it seem that its actually sweeter than this version? who knows. but i like all cereal, money on this was not wasted :)
