Nestle Toffee Crisp Cereal

Nestle Toffee Crisp Cereal

I was provided with a free box of Nestle's Toffee Crisp Cereal via Bzzagent in exchange for an honest review.

Advantages 

I am a cereal fanatic, and love to try new cereals, mix them around and experiment with different flavours so I was delighted to be selected for this campaign. Usually, the more exciting chocolaty cereals are aimed at kids, whilst the healthier versions are aimed at adults so it was a pleasant surprise to learn that the Toffee Crisp cereal is aimed at grown ups, however I'm sure the bright packaging will not go unnoticed by kids.

The cereal consisted of chunks of chocolate puffs and small caramel flavour balls. I thought the chunks would break apart when in milk but they held their shape, which is always a plus. 

I ate the cereal with ‎semi skimmed cold milk, and also dry, straight from the box. Both times the taste was great. However eating it dry becomes very addictive as you don't know when to stop! 

Given how yummy and chocolaty it was, I was very hesitant to look at the nutritional facts. However, the packaging clearly shows that there are 127Kcal per 30g serving, which to me was pretty normal for a cereal. The sugar percentage was a little high, at 8% of the daily intake, but that was to be expected for a cereal originating from a chocolate bar.

Disadvantages
Although I really enjoyed this cereal, it was very much on the sweet side, and I had to mix it with less flavoursome cereals (bran flakes) to balance the sweetness out. It's good for a treat but I'm not sure if this is something i'd like to eat on a daily basis.

My nephew ate the cereal dry with me and he enjoyed the taste too but commented that there weren't enough caramel balls.

Safety/Packaging:

The product is save to eat but just check the ingredients before hand in case you are allergic to any of the ingredients! The packaging on the boxing is clear and easy to read and also the font and colours that were used are appealing to the younger children who will find it fun and be more interested in the colours and font rather than the actual contents inside as this is what catches their eyes the most.

Overall Rating:

Overall I would give this cereal an 8/10!
